[As much as Sayano aspires to being a hero, she's prone to hero worship, and Koko is older and more experienced, full of enlightening stories and wisdom to pass down. Even if Sayano shot like a lighting bolt from one to fifty, so to speak, and has learned plenty of technical knowledge that can serve her well, the sort of skill that can only come from further practical application is still beyond her.
Not to mention, having another Au Ra around, even if they weren't the same clan, was a comfort. The only Au Ra she'd ever known for a long time were her family, and meeting one more like her was heartening.]
That's what we're for when they're good and distracted. If they kill their distraction, who are they going to go after? The people with less sturdy armor, right? You stepped in to hold the broken chain together and succeeded! That's amazing! I wish I had the skills to do the same.
I've only worn the feminine equivalent of a string bikini once or twice, and uh...
[Katherine. Remember how she employed glamours for the longest time before saying 'fuck it'? Yeah, someone's getting a picture sent to her. If you thought wearing those into battle was bad, imagine it in something that most definitely a wedding.]
That is certainly a collection of swimwear! It must have taken some organizing to accomplish.
[The fact that it happened doesn't surprise her beyond the initial shock. Koko seems the type to prank someone (the newlyweds?) in a showy way like this.]
Yeah, it would be pretty suspicous if I showed up early or on time.
Anyway, from the wall and the tree you can get up onto the roof. It looks like there's a blind spot on the north side of the building. ...Might be able to warp strike to the opposite window from there.
[He doesn't mind that it isn't very expensive. Hell, it means that it's far easier to blend in. Not as many people recognizing him. He waves to Hawk and Eagle, approaching them.]
[Yup, if people glance over it's just a quick check, and then they return to their own conversations. Eagle beams, one hand out to keep him steady, and Hawk rises.]
Good to see you could make it! You two have met before, right?
[ And she is teasing him again. She hardly expected Noctis to say anything to her the day they met. He had only awoken from his coma earlier that day. ]
[Once he reads that last text, he decides not to respond. She'll be here in fifteen minutes; it'll be fine. So instead, he picks up his controller and starts playing the latest Assassin's Creed game. Like the nerd that he is.
When he hears the doorbell ring, he calls out "Be right there!" before pausing the game. Hopefully he doesn't get spotted when he returns to it later...]
Hey, Aqua.
[He holds the door open for her, letting her pass.]
I take it he's resting comfortably in the recovery position?
[This is very true! Clearly they need to sometime, once Ignis leaves for the night with his daily reports. Luckily, Noctis isn't much better - even though he's been trying to drink Gladio under the table and failing miserably for months.
Noctis doesn't mind. It's ridiculous as hell, he knows. Still, he at least wanted to make this a little, well, less obvious who did the Thing.]
Head inside. I'll get the door.
[He's not gonna terrorize baby chocobos by suddenly warping them directly inside. So, after calculating where to exactly toss the butter knife.... he does it. He actually does the thing, and zooms out of sight in blue lights.
[Dude, seriously!? Trying to drink Gladio under the table!? He's got like, two hundred pounds on them and a foot! There's no way them combined could drink Gladio under the table.
It's the most hysterical thing and he probably scared some little old lady living a few floors down. Prompto has to hide his horde of babies from a few people in the elevator (they stare at him because his horde is peeping quietly) but he comes out on Ignis' floor and bolts down to his door, bouncing in place, hoping Noctis actually managed to warp with a butter knife.
Your fried rice will be green free. [The takeout places know his order by heart. Well. The various forms of it. If it's him and Lance there's enough weird spicy stuff in the order to set fire to a house because they're daring each other.]
Did you know that most places we order to now know to listen for your voice in the background for how to prepare the order? I'm...not sure what they'd do if you and Lance were in the same room when I call.
[More than likely it is simply the differences in latent magic in the air than her home, or at least he hopes so. After all he doesn't see any black marks across her skin, and he hopes none develop. Despite that, he spares a faint smile for the half-Lunarian as he bows slightly.]
I did not, though I feared once I alerted the cleaning staff I would not be getting through any time soon had I delayed this visit.
[Because he saw that pool of blood. And is quite surprised that she was capable of even standing at this point. Though he supposes it must be due to her own magic.]
[ Platelets and willpower go a long way when nudged along by white magic, it’s true. She needed the elixir because she ran out of mana before she could close all her wounds. Once that was done with, it was just a matter of battling exhaustion, which was something she had plenty of experience doing before now. She pulls the door open further and leans against, moving herself out of the way enough to give Ignis space to enter the room. She gives him a smaller, sympathetic smile at his explanation.
The little bow he gives her is a familiar sight; how many times has he done it before? She isn’t unaccustomed to people being overly formal with her these days, but she found herself wishing the Crownsguard — particularly Ignis — took more the approach of their king. Noctis clearly had no more problems treating her with the same familiarity he did his friends. Well, it spoke volumes at least that Ignis no longer greeted her with a full bow from the waist. She could be patient. ]
