week 4; aftermath

[WELL THIS WAS A DAY.

and a day where by the time he retires back to their room, noctis really isn't any less confused by most of what happened. he's exhausted and a bit embarrassed by the display. and naturally, kind of pissed at ash for being a punk.

and maybe for killing the cat, though he did catch that it wasn't really... intentional? which doesn't make it forgivable entirely. but it's not as deplorable.

either way? entering the room and not knowing what to expect from ash is awkward as fuck, whether he's there or not. he doesn't even spare a passing glance for that side of the room, flopping onto the bed with an exhausted thud.

what the hell. just at everything, what the hell?

and naturally, despite the fact that he threw himself into trying to help resolve the murder, his mind's definitely more caught on that embarrassing situation because of how well it caught him off guard.

...and because he's the type who can't actually let things go. minor details.]

week 4; stop razzing him, asshole

[okay, so there's a chance that noct may have had a drink or two before heading back to the hotel—he's a big boy, he can handle it.

but he's also.

definitely avoiding going back to his room until he's a little more sober since he's got the aftermath of that humiliating display with ash to deal with.

ugh.

so rather than upstairs, it's the kitchen he goes to, with a cup noodles in hand. he may as well heat some water and have a snack before dealing with this. though... he's not exactly expecting company. though if it's gotta be anyone? percy's probably okay, even if noct's still a little flustered by being teased even in just expressions over what happened earlier.

why this.]
