I wouldn't expect anything less. You also have full authorization to break my brother's jaw if you feel the need. I trust your judgement.

[That's what it all comes down to. The fact that Prompto is someone he can rely on for a solid grounding when he needs it, in a way that no one else really fills.

For Noctis, the fact that Prompto is the normal one means that he can relax and take off the mantle of prince. For Izunia, it's an insight outside all the things that are just normal to him, a person who can point out the twisted places he can't see himself.

He clasps their hands and lets the magic flow through and anchor.]

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I don't actually have any firearms at the moment. But I imagine the warping likely makes up for that.

[It's familiar, that color magic, and--despite everything--it makes Prompto feel more at home.]

Pfft, are you kidding, I can't warp! You know I'm only here so someone else can carry all the heavy machinery I'm gonna start looking for now I've got bottomless backpack access.

[If he were to see them side by side, Izunia's is a hair darker in color, but not by much. His royal arms have more blue, though.

He winks.]

Never too late to learn.

Now I feel like that would be cheating on him. "Cute couple ideas: Teach him how to go ZING into his enemies, with magic!"

[He illustrates his ZING with a wrist flick not unlike the Amazing Spider-man's.]

Like an ice skating episode, but with even higher breakneck velocity. And swords. Same amount of clinging to walls, though.

I can vouch that it is a fantastic date idea if you like high velocity hugs and being knocked over.

[In summary: Astolfo.]

You know everything else well enough.

Heh. Well. Maybe not as well as the other guys, but not too bad for only joining up, like, the day before we left.

...Please tell me it was longer than that, I realize that standards slip in wartime but...

[HE HAS CONCERNS?]

But if there's anything you need a better explanation of, you need only ask.

Uhhh, yeah, I didn't get my uniform until the day before we left Insomnia. I had some self-defense training with Cor before that since Noct said he was gonna take me on the trip, but, uh...

[A N Y W A Y, he's just gonna leave that dangling and move on.]

I think I've got it, more or less. Plenty of experience after that.

Oh, goodness. I'm sorry.

[No wonder Prompto was so civilian-like. He very nearly was a civilian, in over his head.]

I suppose it's true about experience being the best teacher, but even so...

[Prompted by the look on Izunia's face, Prompto takes a second to think about the implications, then sighs.]

Probably the safest place I could've been, trained or not, was on the road with the three of them. Not in Insomnia when it happened.

[He shakes his head, sobered.]

Funny how things work out, right?

Oh, certainly, but...

[It just upsets him that that was a thing at all. These kids, really...]

Well, training or not, you're more than a credit to the Crownsguard now.

[Let's just focus on the good things, right?]
