week 5; bounty bonding
[everything is awful.
there's no doubt that everything is hitting critical point of the worst now that they've gotten a body count. it's not even each passing week that's awful, it's each passing day. but with how the day started and where it went so quickly? it's bad.
noct spent the morning helping shinnosuke out—in part because he knows they have to get along and work together... and in part because of that inherent need to do better looking out for someone who unfairly lost their vision. really, he knows that it isn't really something he should be doing—it's a bit of guilt projection that he can't really help; he did a bad job of looking out for ignis while mourning his own losses and left it to his other friends—now he needs to do better. for his sake, for shinnosuke's, and for everyone else's. but he'll keep it to himself, that part at least.
instead, what shinnosuke will get is something a little more reined in; he's got his hands full with his offering—a cup noodles in each hand, lid sealed with the water already inside to soften the noodles on his way upstairs. but with no hands free, noct taps at the door with his foot.]
Hey, Shinnosuke. Open up.

Well, thank you kindly, but I'm not hungry, so you'll have to find someone else to have your meal with.
[Which is a complete lie, seeing as how he hasn't eaten anything all day, but.]
no subject
Tough. Noodles are already in the water and they'll get soggy if I try to take them anywhere else.
[flawless argument.]
Besides, nobody needs you tripping and falling on your face on the way to the meet-up.
no subject
As long as Jason isn't dripping blood everywhere, it'll be fine. I won't trip.
no subject
[why are you so difficult literally all the time, shinnosuke?]
no subject
[Okay, he gets the feeling that Noct is not going away, and maybe if he gives Noct small victories, he'll leave him alone in the future???
So while he doesn't look happy, he steps back to let Noct in.]
no subject
[joy!
not really joy, but whatever. either way, he'll set the cups down at the table and shake out his hands a bit.]
Yours is on the table. Don't waste it—they're a precious commodity.

Seriously, what are you here for?
[He does not believe that Noct is just here to feed him (which is already weird, mind you).]
no subject
[not that he really expects much less from shinnosuke, mind you.]
We're on the same side here.[though he says with a bit of an exasperated sigh.] Think whatever you want about it, what's done is done.
[he's not going to get sappy about it with shinnosuke of all people. he's worried? HE'S WORRIED, OKAY.]
where did my notif for this go
[HE DOES NOT COMPREHEND THIS.]
lost in the void of space ig
[lowkey FRIENDSHIP, the protag life.]
Deal with it.

[but.]
Doesn't mean today's any less crappy.

no subject
[it means that even if he's a pain in the ass, noct is concerned about him? but noct is just going to sigh about it.]
What's done is done, just accept it.
