Noctis stares at him for a long, long moment -- no, it doesn't bother him that Prompto is from Niflheim, or that he's cloned, even if it's a surprise. It bothers him that the Empire is callous and awful enough to pump babies full of Starscourge and churn them out like mindless attack bots.
Prompto had been one of those kids, and he can't help but reach out and squeeze his shoulder briefly. They've been killing MTs, and the horror of it is not lost on him. But there is no way to save them -- unless they nipped it at the source, right?
Sparky settles in his lap, cheeps and looks up at Noctis, but the prince's attention is wholly on Prompto. As far as he's concerned, Prompto is one of them -- no ifs, no buts. ]
Okay. [ He says finally, like Prompto hadn't just told him he was a pre-MT baby from Niflheim. No, Prompto is Prompto, and Noctis loves him all the same. ]
So we're just going to have to crush the Empire totally, aren't we? We're gonna save all those babies, too.
