[ ................................... why does this keep happening to him. ]

shit sorry alisaie
i was just uh
well you know how it is
sometimes your hand slips

[ LMFAO HOW EVEN... ]

I can't say I've messaged someone in error yet.

But I do know it's quite a common occurrence...

Trying to text your beau?

oh yeah it happens all the time
sometimes it's like i never even typed it myself

which um
that's probably what happened?
i wouldn't ever text anybody that

[ He'd just send them nudes instead. ]

So you are telling me your phone just happened to magically type out a sentence and chose to send it?

Don't these things learn from how you type normally?

you wouldn't believe the kinda stuff it does
or used to
but uh... nah
that was just me

sorry if you didn't find it as cool as i did

Well, it's a rather cute line, I'll admit.

It's more that it was being sent to me from you. Not that you aren't attractive, just it seemed things were... awkward.

story of my life honestly
was it the married thing or the girlfriend thing?

I am not sure? The marriage was in the game, so it was for fun, you would say. And neither of us have memory of dating each other.

I suppose it was because I was .. evaluating it? To see what my former self found attractive, though our experiences differed.

yeah i know
sorry this probably seems really weird for you
i'm kinda used to people forgetting about me and then showing up again
first time i don't remember someone else so...

[ Too serious. Too serious. ]

anyway
what'd you come up with?

I can't say I'm used to it at all. People knowing me and me not knowing them has been.. disconcerting.

Well. You are cute, and kind, and joke a lot but not too much so you are quite pleasant to converse with. It is easy to see how I could have fallen for you.

you'd be surprised the kinda stuff you get used to
eventually anyway

[ Because he's had to deal with stuff like that for over a year. ]

thanks i guess?
i can see it too
why i liked you a lot i mean
you're super fun and really pretty

[ yeah she's used to some stuff she is aware is Not Normal either.

either way calling her pretty makes her flustered, not that prompto can see. ]

Thank you as well, then. I usually hear that I am more 'cranky' than anything.

I would not be adverse to getting to know you again, though.

[ wow that sounds so nice alisaie /sarcasm. ]

[ He almost types out that he's used to cranky because if he can deal with Noct waking up before he's ready he can deal with anything, but... doesn't seem that smooth.

Why he's trying for smooth he has no idea. ]

yeah me too
wanna hang out?
what kinda stuff do you like doing for fun??

[ she is undeniably cranky at points. ]

I would certainly enjoy hanging out!

Well, I enjoy physical activities like running, fishing, sparring and such. I also enjoy reading and sweets.

[ sweets is a whole "activity". ]

I haven't had much time to do any of that back home, though.

[ He squints. Is she a combo of him, Noct, and Gladio? What. ]

huh
well can't say i'm super good at lots of those things
my bestie loves fishing though
and i really like to run usually in the morning

maybe we could explore and grab something to eat?
must be some stuff here neither of us have seen before :)

One needn't be good at something to enjoy it. That's part of the fun, no?

[ prompto you smooth operator even she knows that's a date. ]

I would be happy to. There is plenty here that still confounds me, after all. It'd be nice to have someone to talk about it with.

ok well i wouldn't say i like some of those things
but i don't really mind cuz people i know are into em

cool uh
wanna meet up in a little while?
bet we can find plenty of stuff to talk about too

[ oh NO SO SOON does she even have anything she can wear on a date -- ]

That's sounds lovely. Where would you like to meet?

are you staying on level 2?
we can meet there and head out when we're ready

[ But he sends his address just in case... ]

I am on level 2. It looks like we're not far from each other.

[ she sends her address out in kind, but; ]

Let's meet at the weird fox fountain?

[ which is where she'll be about 15 minutes later. she's chosen a pair of black leggings with a pair of red shorts over them, and a red t-shirt. she's completed the ensemble by picking up her tan fur-lined jacket from norvrandt. ]

yeah sure i know it
see you soon ✌️

[ Which means he has a handful of minutes to fuss pointlessly over his hair – it's never not going to look swept up unless he decides to never style it – and figure out what kind of clothes to put on. The usual stuff? Some trendy pair of skinny jeans with a weird design and a plain tee he tucks into the front. None of that matters since he's wearing a coat, but if they get in somewhere warm...

When he spots her at the fountain, Prompto smiles and waves before shoving his hands into his pockets. ]

Hey. [ A pause. ] Ready to go? Figured we could pick a direction and just follow our feet.

[ thankfully, hair has never been much of an issue for her - outside of sanguis, when it's suddenly more like a mane. but she smiles at prompto, hopping off the edge of the fountain where she's sitting and raising a hand in greeting. ]

That sounds like a plan to me.

[ she taps the top of one foot against the ground before she points to the left. ]

Let's start there, then. I haven't had much chance to wander that way.

[ At least she doesn't have to see him during Iris, when his hair is melted with feathers and his freckles are glowing like someone stuck under a black light at a rave. Still, he tries to act cool and rocks on his feet just a little before tilting his head in the direction she points. If they went too far that way, it'd get them into the lower district, but Prompto's found some pretty neat places to explore so he doesn't complain. ]

Cool. [ His grin is relaxed. ] Did you wanna find some place to eat first or just get into trouble right away?

[ That's supposed to be a joke, but #yolo. ]

[ #yolo indeed. don't teach her that or she'll take it to heart.

at his question, though, her expression lights up a bit, and she laughs. she's heard a bit about the lower district, and while alphinaud may fuss, she still wants to see what it's like. ]

It's hard to get into trouble on an empty stomach, isn't it.

[ she's clearly teasing, but food is on her mind now. she starts to head out that way, only pausing to wait for prompto to follow. ]

Have any suggestions?

[ There are a lot of things he could teach her that would rock her world, but he isn't going to intentionally corrupt her ~~into being a millennial~~. ]

Uh, well... I haven't eaten at a lot of places around here so I guess whatever catches your eye?

[ Never mind the getting into trouble bit because they're bound to find something after they eat. Prompto reaches out to grab her hand, gently trying to steer her in a direction towards some place that might have dumplings or... Hm. ]

What's your favorite thing to eat?

[ he grabs her hand and that gives her... the smallest pause, staring down at it before she realizes if she stares too much it'll give away her confusion and she follows him, curling her fingers around his. ]

My favorite thing to eat is sweets, but I realize that does not a meal make.

[ she gives a little laugh. ]

I was fond of the dishes in Kugane - which I've learned here are from somewhere called Japan? So Japanese food. But I'll try anything; where I grew up, food was not considered particularly important and it was very bland.

[ Maybe he'd done the wrong thing? It's not like he doesn't catch that hesitation, as small as it is, but when she curls her fingers over his, he can't help smiling. So he hadn't messed up that bad after all. ]

I mean, you could totally make a meal out of sweets. Just gotta add some other stuff in there too.

[ Which would, in all honesty, probably disgust Ignis if he knew, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Prompto hums. ]

Not too familiar with Japanese food or wherever Kugane is, but I'm sure we can find something like that. Oh – let's go this way! [ He pulls her along, deciding to take a chance and duck into the closest place down an alley. ] If you don't like it, we can go somewhere else.

Oh, I've absolutely made a meal out of them, to my brother's chagrin.

[ or any responsible adult, really. when he tugs them towards a spot, she follows after a moment, looking at the name. ]

"Dairyu's Dumplings"? It sounds interesting enough. [ she chuckles after a moment. ]

Who's to say even if I do like it I won't want to try something else either?
