[You say this as though the King isn't actually a teddy bear in a human disguise. (Noct, that's literally to you and your friends-) Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately), the attendant replies saying that his dad's actually free at the moment, so he starts dialing the number but stops short of pressing send.
Mainly because he can't help but stop and give his close friend a look.]
Prompto. Unless my dad says 'no' and has a Glaive escort the little guys home instead, we'll be leaving the protection of the New Wall.
[Have fun with that mental image, btw. Does he even need to say how weird it sounds that any crown citizen would be that flippant when there is little protection from daemons at night outside Insomnia's borders? But then, maybe it's just his dad that's overprotective ever since the attack.
... He'd better call before the window of opportunity closes. He presses the button, subconsciously straightening despite the constant soft 'kweh's and 'wark's of the baby chocobos around them.]
Noctis?
Yes- Your Majesty. [Well, if Prompto ever thought he'd never see his buddy even vaguely nervous, congratulations. He just hinted at it with that little hesitation.] Sorry to call unannounced like this, but there's something I have to ask about.
Not at all. It is well to hear your voice, my son. [Man, even he can hear the smile in his dad's voice, and it's hard not to mimic it.] Now, what is it you required?
Well, you see- [He starts to explain, when suddenly one of the chicks realizes how Noct's actually a bundle of nerves and decides the best way yo try and cheer them both up is to suddenly climb up his back and roost on his head.] Ack-! E-easy there, little guy!
Noctis?
[... He sighs, opening the camera function and snaps a selfie. Of the top of his head. And the chick. Please don't laugh at his terrible aim, Prom, it's just a quick one.
And judging by the laughter on the other end, it does more than enough to convey what happened. Though he does go into a quick explanation of what led them to this point, and what he knows from the reports the first attendant sent him.]
I'm not asking to keep one, much as I'd want to. But, I'd like to go with my friend to return this little guy and his brothers and sisters. To the ranch in Duscae.
...That is quite a distance to travel, Noctis.
[He winces slightly.] I know.
-and a trip I would not have the two of you going on your own, nor at this hour. Cor?
Then let's do this :>
