Hello? This is...working? Yes? Yes, it does say it is. Ah, this is Lucina, and I am unable to speak with you at the moment. Please leave your name and a message and I will...respond, in some manner.

gently touches this, 9/12

[nightcure]

[ He's entertained the thought of contacting Lucina for quite some time, considering... Prompto had spoken so glowingly of her. So he finally does, late at night. ]

hey lucina
this is noctis
got a moment to talk?

gently touches back

[challengesfate]

[It takes a while for Lucina to text him back - not because she sees the message late, but because her texting is still very, very slow.]

oh hello noctis
yes i have a moment
what is it

oh my

[nightcure]

this probably seems like a weird question but
how's prompto been doing since you guys got here

:3

[challengesfate]

um
i guess it is somewhat of a weird question
but promptos been fine
he is very kind and considerate and knows a lot about the technologies i dont understand and i am always grateful for his help
as far as i have seen he is making friends here as well
i suppose you must have met him somewhere here?

[nightcure]

that's good
he probably helped you with these things then, huh
he's actually
well
we've been best friends for a long time
i've just kinda been wondering, that's all

[challengesfate]

[Oh.

...

o h]

ooooooooh
yes um he did help me a lot with the phones
though sometimes i forget they can do things
but um
if that is the case then
it isnt that i wouldnt want to know more and its unfair in my opinion but if i ask questions and get answers
what if that hurts him as a shinki?????????????????????
i dont want to hurt him

[nightcure]

[ oh geez

Lucina really is a good god for Prompto. She's worried, and while Noctis feels bad for freaking her out... it makes him feel a little better about him being with her. ]

hey it's okay
if you have any questions you can ask me too
especially if you're worried about hurting him
if you're that worried though you should ask him if this kinda stuff hurts him

[challengesfate]

[In her mind, Shinki are as much people as the Gods are, and the rules about them...do make her very sad, but, she would much rather keep a person whole and safe than let them become corrupted by something.]

i just
wouldnt want to say something to him on accident
and then he gets hurt trying to remember his past
im so sorry
if he is an old friend then this must be very hard for you

[nightcure]

[ He pauses and reads over her message a few times. Lucina's... well. She's good. Noctis could tell from the moment he'd met her, but... honestly, she seems like one of the best people he's met. ]

yeah
i get what you mean

i don't really know how to avoid that but
maybe ask a more experienced god

[ ... ]

it's weird
really weird
but we joke around and stuff like we used to
so not a whole lot's changed

[ ... that's not totally answering the question, but. whatever. ]

[challengesfate]

[She tries. She's not perfect, but she tries.]

if its a native god they would probably get very upset and tell us not to bother
so perhaps a god like us who has been here longer would be best

oh thats good!
that means who he is deep down is just the same as always
thats a relief

[nightcure]

yeah exactly
got any idea who'd be best to ask?

yeah
he's a really great guy
have you seen him around animals?
pretty fun to watch

[challengesfate]

not at the moment
i dont know whos been here longest

yes i have
our first prayer was helping cats and we took one home with us
and she had kittens and now we have a lot of little cats

[nightcure]

might be hard to figure that out unless we ask
don't know how many people'd answer

oh yeah
he said something about cats when we talked
you're looking for homes for them right?

[challengesfate]

if mother cat finds a person suitable then they are welcome to bring one of her kittens home
but they still need some time with her to grow

[After a moment, an empty message is sent right after this, and attached is a blurry picture of teeny bb kits.]

[nightcure]

if you don't mind i'd love to come over and see if any of em like me enough
whenever they're weaned off mama cat, though

[ Holy shit. They're so cute. ]

they're pretty adorable

[challengesfate]

you are very welcome to come over anytime
i am sure they would love to meet you
they are very curious and always end up in places i never expect to find them

[nightcure]

cool, i'll send you a text before i head over

haha well
that's cats for you
always where you don't want them to be, or where you least expect them
at least they're cute

[challengesfate]

okay
i will respond to let you know i received the message
i am still getting used to the phone but i get better at using it every day

i dont mind finding them in unusual places i just wonder how they got there
for instance
how does a kitten open a pantry door and get to the highest shelf to hide amongst the sugar and flour

[nightcure]

practice makes perfect and all that
i think you're doing pretty great

persistence? wanting something soft to lay on?
maybe install a lock on the door if you don't already have one

[challengesfate]

i suppose a lock would not be remiss
it would have to be one with keys though
i have seen other locks and i am still having trouble figuring out how exactly they work

[nightcure]

you mean the ones with the combinations?

[challengesfate]

yes
i can memorize the code for them but i always get confused when it comes to turning the knob
