'Let's hide out in the tent somewhere' is the vaguest seed of a plan, but it's somewhere to go. It's familiar; it's seen them through fun times and not-so-fun, held their card games and Gladio's snoring and Noct's groaning at waking up.

Prompto... you don't have to apologize, okay? You're my best friend. I'll always come find you.
No matter what.
