[In the month since he returned, Noctis has tried to resume his former routine, even if that routine was mostly 'work part time, fish part time, and bother Prompto the rest of the time'. He's almost broke again, except for a handful of cunes he hid 'just in case', which thankfully didn't disappear, unlike his miniature car.
Today he's been the opposite of Steak, mostly lazy.]
( working and spending the rest of his time in the Wilde has always served Steak pretty well, but he quite literally exists to do such things. without them, well... he would sleep, a lot. boredom weighs heavy on him, and quickly, too.
but Steak doubts that his life will ever come to that. humans will always need help, and much like Tierra, Aefenglom seems to have the constant threat of things which need disposing hovering over its head. )
Yep. ( though, now, with his day behind him, he's facing the question of what to do with himself, and— ) Where are you going?
( there's a curiosity in his tone, a question of do you want some company rather than why are you leaving this house, as Steak's pet scurries into his hair and settles on top of his head, staring bright-eyed at Noctis. )
[He's not attempting to deflect; he really has no particular plan for where he's going or what exactly he's doing, just that he wants to get out of the house and wander.
His eyes are drawn to the slight movement on Steak's head and glances up there curiously-ah, it's a rat...or maybe a mouse? Noctis doesn't really know the difference.]
Just need to stretch my legs for a while. Wanna come?
( rats are bigger, Steak thinks. well, that's what Everett told him it was, so he'll go with that. )
Sure.
( sure he's been out and about all day, but Steak appreciates being kept busy, even with idle things like a walk. stillness easily makes him tired, too bored without something to occupy his mind. )
And we can pretend I tagged this in a timely manner
