--- A CLOSE CALL .
Denial of any concern being present ( past, future ) is made utterly redundant by another’s assumption ; Prompto’s expectations of a sentiment less than kind. And who is he to burst that bubble ? Better let the boy think he is unwelcome ( on a quest that should have rightly taken his life already ), than to encourage his fatal resolve. [ should have left Noctis to those trained for this // what’s the point in losing another life, purely for the sake of friendship ? friendship would rather see that life intact, but, ah. Prompto is a willful creature ]
It is childish, if not simply petty - but Ignis finds the acid churn of abrupt terror take heart’s place and it is that which loosens his tongue ---
“ Death takes what man would keep ; --- and leaves what man would lose. ”
Not his proudest moment, but the boy is likely to take a few inches off Ignis’ dignity in turn ( there have been both snakes and simple mud to infest his clothes on a few occassions already ).
