no worries!

[thatgoodnight]

[He smiles back - especially seeing that heart. And he kind of wishes he had a camera on hand to take a picture of Fuuka with her hands up like that. Yeah, whatever worries he might have had about Fuuka and Prompto are pretty firmly assuaged.]

You should see him when he goes through his photographs at the end of the day. [Noct holds his hands out to mime Prompto flicking through the photos on his camera.] Normally he's watching whoever he's showing the photos to to see what they think of them - but when they're pictures of you, he's got eyes only for them.

[Still, he's a bit curious...]

What about you? What do you like about Prompto?

[thekissoflife]

[Oh my gosh??? Oh my gosh... Prompto... Her eyes are so wide when Noctis says that, and yeah, that sure was another couple of hearts. She's so hopelessly infatuated...

Sheer embarrassment keeps her from saying anything more, so she's glad for her turn to speak and turn the attention away from her.]

Prompto is... He's vibrant. [She smiles an open-mouthed smile.] So full of energy and smiles. And he's so... so compassionate and considerate. So supportive. He's just such a good person.

[She looks off towards the wall as she thinks fondly of him.] Somehow, Prompto fell for me exactly the way I am, and that's... It means a lot to me. But even if he hadn't, I still would cherish my every moment with him. Because it's never a dull moment with him, and I really feel like... I can completely be myself around him.

[Has she gushed over Prompto enough yet?? She blushes a bit more and ducks her head in self-consciousness.] Goodness, I sound so sappy... [But she's still smiling.]

[thatgoodnight]

Maybe a little. [He's smirking, though, to show it's a tease. Honestly, Noctis really doesn't mind listening to her gush about Prompto, especially because everything she says is true!]

I get it, though. ... I feel the same way about him. -- uh, minus the romance bit. We've never been -- like that. [Don't mind him being awkward and kinda rubbing his neck. Even if he and Prompto have definitely joked about it before, Noct definitely doesn't want Fuuka to get the wrong impression or anything.] But uh - I mean, he's one of the best people I know, and -- yeah. He just... has that way of letting you be you, no strings attached.

[It's part of why Noctis likes him so much. Part of how they became best friends so quickly once Prompto finally worked himself up to say hey. Of course, mutual interests in things like video games and chocobos had certainly helped but how Prompto has always seen past the surface and been supportive and always treated Noctis like a person rather than like a prince... Noct can relax around Prompto in a way that's hard to do around anyone else from home. So when Fuuka says she can completely be herself around Prompto, Noctis knows exactly what she means.]

[thekissoflife]

[Fuuka gives a little noise of amusement at Noctis stumbling over his words. It's fine, she understands what you mean!! Don't worry so much, nerdo... But she nods in agreement, looking around the shop.]

I was much more reserved about my hobby when I first came here. I really enjoy mechanics and tinkering around with things, but... [Her gaze drops, wondering for a moment if she should share this. But Noctis seems like a nice person, and she's been gradually coming to terms with this herself.]

I was embarrassed. Because it didn't seem very feminine to me. It still... doesn't, not really. But I don't mind so much anymore. Because when I told Prompto... [She smiles warmly, the air around her warming in turn.] All he cared about was my passion. He was so interested in how things worked, in my knowledge of my craft. He was just excited as I was and it was so... freeing.

[Her voice is laden with gratitude.] He really helped me... come out of my shell.

[thatgoodnight]

I'm glad. [he chuckles a bit.] Prompto's always been a technophile, but -- I'm glad you're less embarrassed, if it's something you love.

[Noct looks at her thoughtfully for a moment.]

Kinda tangential, but uh... Have you met Cindy Aurum at all? She's someone else here from our world. She tinkers a lot too - but uh... more with vehicles and bigger stuff than what you have here.

[Because meeting another woman into tech stuff seems like a good thing to him, if Fuuka is still even the smallest bit worried about femininity. Not that Cindy is the delicate dainty sort of feminine, but her confidence in herself is admirable, and the two of them'd probably find a lot to talk about in adapting technology to this world, he imagines.]

[thekissoflife]

Cindy Aurum? The name doesn't ring a bell.

[But another female Otherworlder mechanic?? She's definitely interested.]

Does she have a business here?

[thatgoodnight]

Yep. She does.

[He tells her the address.]

Uh... she hasn't been officially open all that long, though. I'm sure she'd be happy to talk if you went over or I can introduce you sometime if you want...

[... given that Fuuka seems kinda shy, he figures he ought to offer that option.]

[thekissoflife]

[Going over for the express purpose of meeting someone does feel a bit bold... and she smiles at Noctis giving that offer, but ultimately shakes her head. She doesn't want to put that on him.]

Thank you. I'll be sure to drop by when I have the time.
