After wasting most of the day pushing the Regalia to Hammerhead they finally made it. With the last stretch they push the black car forward, closer to the garage, only stopping when Gladio deems them far enough. Gladio, walks around to meet Ignis. Noct slides down the side of the Regalia to the floor as Prompto falls into a heap of tired muscles and sore feet.

Ignis puts the car in park, then rummages through the bag on the passenger seat. He pulls out three water bottles, he hands two to Gladio, one for himself and the other for the prince. Ignis grabs another one, moving his way to the opposite end of the shield and prince. He leans over the car door to see the blonde a breathing mess, sweat dripping down her bright red face. "For you." Ignis says holding the bottle over her. The blonde reaches up with one sore arm to grab the bottom of the bottle. The advisor lets go, causing the weight of the bottle to make Proms sore arm collapse, the bottle falling on her stomach, all she does is wince as she moves to sit up. When she's up enough she opens the bottle, drinking from it thirstly.

Ignis turns, seeing someone getting close to them. What he sees shocks him. A blonde woman in almost nothing comes towards them, she wore a crop yellow long sleeved jacket, an old truckers cap, a bikini top underneath her jacket, very short jean shorts, dark thigh high leggings, around her waist is a tool belt and she wore gloves. So she must work here?

"Now y'all must be the call about the Regalia?" she asks looking between the three men, she stops in front of the Regalia, jutting her hip out as she place her hands on her hips. Her eyes zero in on the car.

"That is us. I'm Ignis, that's Gladio, the one on the floor is Noctis, and the one on the floor on this side is Prompto." Ignis points out to them, when their name is called they wave at the new blonde. When Prompto's name is called she sticks her hand up, the maybe mechanic able to see her hand as it moved in a very bad wave, since Proms arm is tired, she doesn't know where the mechanic is so she doesn't fully wave, so it turns into a mess. Those who can see watch the mechanic nod with her head tilted. A small grin forming at the corner of her mouth. "She's a beauty." she says, referring to the car, then, like she was snapped out of her daze she looks over at the three men one at a time. "I'm Cindy Aurum, I'll be y'all's mechanic. My paw runs Hammerhead, he wants to talk to ya prince Noctis." she smiles at them, Ignis and Gladio look at Noctis then back at the blonde mechanic, Cindy.

Before anyone can say or do anything Prompto shoots up straight startling both Ignis and Cindy. With attention on her she asks, "where's the bathroom?" Cindy blinks taking in the question.

"In there," Cindy points over her shoulder into the garage. "All the way in the back, a big 'ol sign on the door, can't miss it." she tells the other blonde. Prompto drops the bottle into the car and runs.

"Thanks," Prom says as she runs past Cindy. Like the woman said, all the way in the back sat two bathrooms, both gender neutral but single person use. Prompto doesn't think to much about it as she rushes inside one, locking the door behind her before doing her business. Being busy with pushing the Regalia and just now getting liquids it all came rushing. She'll be honest, her bladder control isn't what it use to be, not since Astrum was born so when she's got to go she goes, not wanting to take the chance of trying to hold it in.

With her business complete she can take her time, washing her hands, drying them, walking back towards the regalia. That is until she spots one of the workers having some trouble. Curious the blonde walks to see what going on. He seems confused by the engine. Prom takes a look around to see everyone is busy working, having worked with this engine before Prompto steps up.

She gets so into teaching the man that she doesn't notice the time or how much of it has passed. It's not until someone calls her name does she pause to look behind her. There she sees all three of her companions and an older man, similar hat and jacket to Cindy. Promoto guesses that's Cindy's paw. She hands over the wrench to her student, standing straight, grinning at them nervously, hoping she hasn't angered any of them. She didn't want to be overstepping, though, no one looked mad, more shocked than anything.

"Why didn't you fix the car?" Gladia wonders, one of his eyebrows raised in question.

"Even if I knew what was wrong I couldn't do anything to fix it, I don't have the tools." Prompto explains with her hands up in surrender. Ignis pushes his glasses up, Prompto is right, they don't have any tools, even if they had just blown a tire they still wouldn't have been able to fix it, still needing to get pushed to Hammerhead. "Did I miss something?" she wonders getting close.

"Not wanting to spend the money I put aside for our trip we have agreed to do some hunting as payment instead." Ignis answers, but doesn't elaborate, Prompto looks at the other two who seem guilty of something, but the blonde can't tell what. So what they agreed to go on a hunt?

"What are we hunting?" Promoto ask thinking that's the problem.

"Sabretusks up in the weaverwilds." the old man answers.

"We want you to stay here Prompto." Ignis goes a head and says, all three worried about how she'll react to this.

"Okay." Prompto answers, calm and collected, surprising all three men.

"You're not going to argue?" Noct asks, all three expecting her to. Prompto nods.

"I'm still not connected to the Crystal so I can't summon a weapon and with my other powers I still don't know how to use them. I would be much help any way." the blonde tells them.

"You boys might want to get goin', there's a mini mart around for ya to buy elixirs and anything else ya fancy." the old man tells them.

"Why don't you buy something to eat and I'll get the curative for us? Maybe we should do this tomorrow in the morning." Ignis suggests seeing how late it's gotten.

"Might be for the best but while y'all have fun doing that, your friend here can help fix some cars. We could use the extra hand." Cindy says smiling at them.

"Might as well." Prompto shrugs her shoulder. Not like she's doing anything else.

"Then we'll be back." Ignis says nodding at the blonde. They all turn to walk out the garage. Noct turns his head to see the blonde. Prompto waves at them. She'll be safe here. Normally she would have wanted to join them but she doesn't want to get in their way. She's still training. She's not even an official crownsguard yet.

The boys buy what they need and sleep in the caravan for their hunt in the morning.

Prompto helps around where she can. Going around the garage, seeing who needs help then doing it. After a while she ends up in a button up jumpsuit and boots helping Cindy with the Regalia. Soon after that "paw" comes up to them, who learns is named Cid, eyeing Prompto, trying to read her.

"Prompto is it?" he asks. The blonde looks over her shoulder at the old man Cid. Prompto gives him a smile, nodding to answer his question.

"Yup, the others just call me Prom though."

"Ain't that just the cutest thing." Cindy calls from underneath the car, Prompto working on the top.

"How'd you get tangled up with a prince?" Cid asks. Cindy gasps, sliding from underneath to stare at her grandfather.

"Paw, leave the girl alone." she tells him. He shrugs, looking at the other blonde who stood more straight, instead of leaning over.

"Can't I be curious?" Cid huffs. Prompto just grins.

"Noct and I have been to the same school some middle school. We became friends." she explains to them with a grin.

"Friends with the prince," Cindy says then whistles. She goes back to work. Sliding back under the regalia.

"How'd you end up joining the prince on his journey?" Cid asks.

"I am his best friend." Prompto says but Cid just raises one of his greyed brows. Prompto lets out a sigh. "I was also invited so we decided to make it a trip. Plus I'm not totally useless. I use to train with the crownsguard, but since I'm not connected to the Crystal I can't summon a weapon."

"Use to?" Cindy wonders this time. Prompto rests a hand on her stomach.

"Something happened and I couldn't finish. I'm going to join again. But now we are taking it slow." Prompto answers with a grin. She bends over, getting back to work. While the guys are sleeping and later on when they are out on a hunt she needs to do her part.

Cid watches Prom for a bit. The older man can take a guess as to what happened, must be a reason to why she won't just tell them. But in all fairness they are a bunch of strangers. Cid may know Regis but he doesn't know them. To them he's just some distant old friend to the king.

"How's Regi doing?" Cid asks since he couldn't ask the boys. When Prompto didn't show up they wanted to go searching before making any decisions. Didn't have to search long.

"Better now that he's not using himself to shield Insomnia. He doesn't walk with a cane either. Happier to, seen him smiling more often but that could be because I'm always around. Still busy." Prompto recalls as she tries to focus on her work.

"Regi been smilin'?" Cid asks, apparently shocked.

"Yes." Prompto draws out the word. Turning her head to spot the old man openly surprised.

"Never knew he'd smile again." Cid says.

"Nocts mood affects him to. The prince is happy so is the king." she says, being careful as to not spill that Astrum has been making him happy. The child being apart of it. Noctis, Gladio and even Ignis have been in way better moods and emotional states with the blonde around and everyone (Regis, Clarus and even Cor) can see it. She's made everyone around her smile, even Cor. That day shocked everyone.

Cid nods, knowing that can't be the full answer. But again there must be something private in the background. It's not any of his business so he won't pester. He stands there for a few seconds before leaving, both blondes have a lot of work tomorrow.
