[ Noctis says quickly, a hand on the doorhandle. The last thing he wants is to make a big deal out of this. Noctis is tired of royal traditions and etiquette, which somehow hadn't managed to die -- but he supposes that traditions like these help people feel better, are as much a coping mechanism as it is anything else, and he doesn't have the heart to take it away from them.
But it does make him feel like a bird in a cage sometimes, gilded and worth more than he really is, which is just ridiculous. ] It's getting to be a pain.
[ He confides, shaking his head. ] All that bowing and 'Your Majestys', I'm starting to think that my first name ought to be 'Your'.
[ A silly little joke, but Noctis is getting tired of the constant tension, the melancholy that lingers in the background. He can put aside his own selfish needs and tend to Ignis' first, to make sure he's all right before anything else. After all, it's been a long, long time since he was last 20, a bratty, sheltered prince. Still, more than a little pleased that Ignis is clearly amenable to come with him, he adds. ] Ready to go?
