There's a long pause from Noah, his expression is hard to read. It's as if he's going through each of the words, assessing. "Like with you and Dante", huh? He wonders if Dante spoke to him ... probably. The guy wasn't great at minding his own business.
...Wasn't his worst quality though.
He takes a deep breath. Sorting out his thoughts ]
...I'm used to getting thrown away. People get tired of me, or I become too much of a pain. [He gives a sad little headshake] Even Ari left, told me no when I asked to go with her...
So...when I think I see that writing on the wall, I cut and run. Easier to run than be left behind, you know?
[His running wasn't out of strength, really. If anything, his entire facade, the rough exterior- it was built out of fear. Fear of letting people close, of getting hurt.
Prompto managed to get his way past the exterior. The thick shielding. It...hurt more than he wanted to admit, to try to cut away. So, when he hears that? He feels himself getting choked up]
[prompto does him a solid and hands him some napkins that came with the waffles and stuff. clean up that nose, boy. on the other hand, he just shrugs and smiles, leaning back on his hands]
It isn't a big deal.
[his smile becomes a little wonkier] You'd probably have gagged.
[is it that bad, then? usually, when it isn't, they just give you a night or two. they don't want you taking up space for patients that could do with the medical attention. he frowns.]
The city's becoming more dangerous. Let's be more careful, alright?
