[He's relatively sure Noct appreciates him... the man just isn't demonstrative most of the time. He imagines the Bond ceremony used up all of Noct's ability to do so for the foreseeable future.]

I thought you were going to injure yourself in your enthusiasm.

[It's hard to forget the first time he cooked with Prompto as a guest.]

You can request my cooking any time.

[clickclickbang]

I mean, I remember that stomachache. Does that count?

[He chuckles.]

You gotta let me try cooking for you too, though. It's only fair!

[quickrecipeh]

I'd like that. I'm not a culinary snob, at any rate. I'm learning to let go a little.

[clickclickbang]

Aren't you the one who judged Coctura's cooking with a Face?

[quickrecipeh]

That was then, this is now. I'm growing more adventurous by the day.

[...]

I'll be happy to critique, if you so desire.

[clickclickbang]

Yeah? I can make, like, burgers and stuff alright but if you've got tips I'll take 'em!

[quickrecipeh]

I'll challenge you to impress me. So pick your best dish and come at me.

[clickclickbang]

Good thing you're not vegan, because that means burgers!

[quickrecipeh]

Imagine me being vegan.

[A laugh.]

I love vegetables, of course, but there's nothing like a well cooked meat.

[clickclickbang]

Noct would've starved to death if you were vegan, let's be real.

[quickrecipeh]

He would've shriveled up and blown away.

[clickclickbang]

Wasted away to nothing by age ten.

[quickrecipeh]

We'd be without a King. The tragedy compounds.

[clickclickbang]

Oh well, time to turn Lucis into a democracy. I nominate you as prime minister.

[quickrecipeh]

Why, thank you. I have rather been thinking of getting back into politics, now that you mention it.

[clickclickbang]

[He shifts so he can hold out his hands like two scales.]

Babysitting a king....babysitting a country. Babysitting a king....babysitting a country.

[The "country" side goes up.]

Gotta be easier.

[quickrecipeh]

[Ignis reaches for the "king" hand and takes hold of it.]

Especially when your King is turning into a monster. You're both handfuls right now. So I'm babysitting a King and his rather interesting best friend.

[clickclickbang]

[Oh. He's.

Iggy is holding his hand? What. What!!]

Is he having issues with it? Should I talk to him?

[quickrecipeh]

Not any worse than yours. In many ways I'd say he's more annoyed than anything.

[Ignis lets go of his hand and puts his arms back loosely around Prompto.]

But you're important to both of us, so here I am.

[clickclickbang]

[And Prompto settles back down against Ignis.]

...yeah?

[quickrecipeh]

[Prompto are you not feeling how comfortable and content he is compared to normal times? At least he's getting there. There's some slight nervousness as well.]

Yes.

[clickclickbang]

[He smiles softly.]

Good, because you guys are all I got. You mean a lot to me, too.

[quickrecipeh]

It's the same for me. I only have you two. Three, should Gladio ever arrive.

[clickclickbang]

Do you think he will?

[quickrecipeh]

I don't know. I think he certainly may, but I haven't pinned my hopes upon it. I can't say I'd be happy for him if he did come, all things considered. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. That's all this is.
