Vexen raised an eyebrow as he noticed the other man awaken, and then mutter in what was clearly a state of confusion. Typical.
If Vexen had to be completely honest, the man looked as if he were about to fall asleep the moment he boarded the train, almost as if he were intoxicated by what was clearly exhaustion. It was late, ideal for Vexen as it meant the entire carriage was empty apart from the sleeping prince. Unfortunately, he woke up, and even worse – Vexen would have to actually interact with him.
“We passed Agrabah about seventeen minutes ago,” Vexen said before he turned his attention back out the window, watching the stars move past as they travelled between worlds.
“I am unaware of which world you needed, you might need to get off at the next one to catch the returning train.” Might be expensive, but of course that was the other man’s fault.
Noctis had gotten on his train in a haze this evening; he never did well with long meetings, and the Council had droned on for so long that he was doing his best not to sleep in the middle of it. By the time he boarded the train to head out to Prompto’s neighborhood to crash at his place, he was almost dead on his feet.
He knew he should have had Ignis drive him to and fro, but he thought taking the train would be fine. At this time of day, it was usually more or less empty. When he stumbled onto an entirely empty car, he figured it was his lucky day and settled in to nap.
Which led to his current predicament. Noctis has slept through his stop before, it’s never the end of the world. The Insomnia line makes a loop, so worst case scenario, he’d have to ride along until the next time it arrived at his destination.
He’s never woken up on a train and seen entirely unfamiliar stars whizzing by the window.
It’s not a tunnel painted to look like a planetarium. The vertigo he gets when he tries to peer down below and finds nothing but more space and more stars speaks enough to that.
“Where.” He blinks tiredly at the older man, the only other occupant in the train. He is dressed kind of weird... “Where the hell is Agrabah? Which stop is the Insomnia riverside residential district?”
