Ardyn hadn’t slept at all, so there is a small chance that he knows the young king has only slept a couple of hours himself. However, the old thief has been exploring the city the entire night, and never actually made it to the hotel. So it is also likely that he simply assumed the boy actually had the sense to sleep when he had the ability to. Not bothered by Noctis’ grumbling, Ardyn crouched by the bedside to get a better look at him. There was a gleam in his eyes that made him seem like a dad excited to bring their son on a first fishing trip. “I’m going to teach you how to pick pocket” He said, “ I found a red light district that’s just filled with drunkards and people wandering back home from late shifts. Add that with the dark and it’s a perfect chance to practice.” He paused for a minute and looked to the side, “Also Ignis and Gladiolus are still asleep and thus can not stop me.”
