A shining beacon of friendliness as always, are we?

[maybe there's something a little half-hearted, but it's not like he doesn't know it's the better approach. some people, you just have to be that way with. he can't pretend he knows how shinnosuke feels right now, after all. he doesn't know exactly how close he was with any of their victims, but the way he sauntered off after following jason and milla out—

well, it was telling enough.

he's experienced his fair share of loss before this shitty place, he knows how just walking away and trying to pretend it's all fine works.

(and he knows also, that it doesn't really work, hard as they try.)

but he doesn't pretend to know how deep that runs. and he's not going to ask, either. it's not his business, and he knows that even if he wanted to really know, shinnosuke wouldn't give him an answer. so it's a healthy dose of sass to accompany his helpfulness that noct will offer instead.]

Got a bit of time to kill before we gotta meet up with everyone. Figured it's a good time to eat something.

[so let him in the room properly because these cups are hot and he wants to not be holding them.]
