[ this comes literally five minutes after the bulletin. ]

you think it's really true somebody actually died?
again
like second death? :/

Noct, it's time to wake up.

[ it's pretty late, which would be odd, but sleeping has always felt weird in the eternal night; losing track of time is simple, which he's done a lot of lately. rather than being safely tucked into bed, he's been sitting in their "common area" sorting through photos in the light of his lantern. ]

hey you still awake?

[There were plenty of places in the Village that weren't occupied and for this occasion, Ignis decided to make use of one of them before ferry with new people arrives. While they spend a lot of time eating the cake with the others in a light, festive mood of Noct's birthday, Ignis does want a few moments just with Noct. He did order him a present from Rastus a month ago and he was more than eager to finally hand it over. Especially with the recent events, Ignis is hoping that it will cheer Noctis up somewhat.

Later, when the time is shifting to what they could call 'evening' in this dark place, Ignis comes to find Noctis in his room, a small brown bag in one hand. There's a light knock on the door.]

Noct? Are you in there?

Noctis, when you get a moment, I was hoping that we could go for a little walk.

[ The party may be over, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't want a little one on one time with the birthday boy. Besides, she's got a little something for him... it's not much, but she's doing what she can in this place. ]

[Ignis doesn't know the details. He's not even sure if he wants to know them. All that's on his mind right now is Noctis' injuries that he got from the incident with the ferry.

He's by the stove, waiting for the water to boil so he can make some rice porridge, while also preparing some tea. There's a box of medical supplies on the table- some bandages, cloths, painkillers, and there are ice packs for the swelling in the freezer. He put the lid on the porridge and lowers the stove's temperature, then grabs the ice and medical kit and heads to Noct's room.

Their healing magic is not like before, and he will have to tend to Noct's wounds in a regular way. He enters the bedroom and closes the door with a nudge of his foot- he knows Noct's not asleep- he didn't get a decent hour of sleep from the pain.]

How are you feeling? [Ignis asks, a bit stiffly, as he places the items on the free side of the bed, preparing them for use.]

[After a day of dual sulking, Ignis walks into the house with circles under the eyes. He makes himself some coffee and hot chocolate for Noct because, no matter of what Noct accuses him, he loves cooking for him. He goes to Prompto's room (because Noct said he will be there) and knocks gently.]

Are you ready to go, Noct?

[Ignis peers into their shared room, wondering if Noct is finally dressed. They had planned to go see those fireworks that Robin said will go off soon. And while they aren't going to be as spectacular as they usually are, it will be a nice sight, a bit of color in this constantly dark sky.

He packed them some things to snack on, figuring he could turn this little excursion into a small picnic. There's always an empty spot a bit off from the dock where no one will disturb them and they can sit and watch the sky.]

Wear something warm. It is a chilly night.
