Monday Night at Nell and Gladio's

[mylandmyrules]

Nell wasn't sure who, if anyone, would be coming tonight after the men's weekend getaway, but she had food stuffs ready to throw together. She'd wanted to bring home some of the daffodils, but given that they were toxic to cats she'd brought home a few sunflowers instead.

And,as usual, once everything was set she settled down with her book to relax a little.

Not only did Noctra insist on going to Nell and Gladio's in her chocobo outfit, but she also wouldn't leave until Prompto was properly chocobo'd, too.

There was a good chance the only conversation anyone would get out of her today would made of only warks and kwehs,and Prompto wasn't even mad about it. This was, after all, clearly a monster of his own design.

(Which was a vast improvement on the monsters of his father's design, too).

"Well, wark to you too," Nell said with a cheerful smile for Noctra. "I see I havr two chocobros as dinner guests roday. Come on in!"

"Hey, Nell," said Prompto, grinning a little sheepishly, a little apologetically as Noctra trilled out another 'Wark! Wark! Kweh?' and blinked innocent blue eyes around the assembled masses. "Thanks. She's clearly got the chocobo spirit today, and I can't even be mad about it, this is the monster I've created." He chuckled a little fondly and poked Noctra's nose. "Chocobo nugget."

Then, putting his adult face back on, he asked, "How've you been, Nell?"

[mylandmyrules]

"I'm good," Nell said. "Glad to have Gladio back, but also glad that he got to get away with you guys."

She turned to Noctra. "Wark, Kweh! I'm afraid I'm no chocobo, but I'm glad to see you."

Perhaps Noctra was eager to show off her chocobo outfit. Perhaps she was eager to see what pretty jewelry Liliana would offer up. But either way, she wandered over to babble at Liliana. Luckily for the girl, Liliana was at loose ends at the moment, and was willing to listen to her with grave attention.

"I see," she said, and, with a rustle of silk, leaned down to pick Noctra up so they could continue their conversation as a more respectable height. "Mmmm, chocobos are all well and good, but don't discount horses until you've ridden one, sweeting. Regardless of what your father and uncles tell you. Trust me, I have excellent taste."

"Spoken like someone who's never ridden a chocobo before," Prompto said, with a chuckle, after watching this all fall into place with a little cautious curiosity and letting Noctra wark and kweh at Liliana a bit before coming over. "Guess we'll have to see how she feels when she's old enough to ride either, but I will point out, she's not insisting on going anywhere dressed as a horse..."

"Of course not, not with Daddy's insistence that there's nothing better," Liliana sniffed. "She hasn't had a chance to appreciate a good pony."

She glanced over to Noctra thoughtfully. "Another few months, sweeting, before you're old enough to ride with me, I think."

And then she seemed to notice that she was holding her and looked to Prompto to see if he wished to take her back. Ahem. "...Assuming your parents allow for it, of course," she added hastily.
