Prompto takes her time parking the Regalia. She didn't want to be banned from driving right at the start of their journey. Once she turns the ignition off she turns to the passengers. "Who's hungry?" she asks with a smile on her face.
As an answer someone's tummy growls. They all give each other looks, it could have been all of them together for all they know.
"Shall we?" Ignis asks as he pockets his phone, then gets out, the other three joining too.
"Starving. But first bathroom break." Prompto walks away.
"I second that." Gladio says walking behind her. Ignis turns his head, looking at the prince.
"Noct?" Ignis silently asks, turning his head slightly towards the prince.
"I'm good." he says looking down at the blondes camera. He seem entranced by a photo. If the advisor were to guess he'd have to say the picture is of Prompto.
"Shall we go in then?" Ignis suggest. Noct nods. Ignis leads Noct into the large building with an equally large sign saying 'Wiz Chocobo', a chime of a small bell signaling their entrance. Ignis takes a look around, the shop is rather large. He spots little trinkets and actual materials to buy. If he were to guess he'd say this is both an items shop and gift shop. He looks around seeing snacks and cup noodles. Can't let Gladio know about this. He will make a mental note to get some snacks before they leave. Ignis spots Noct looking through the gifts.
"How can I help you?" both of their attention turn to an older man with tan skin, gray hair and beard, gray flat cap, with matching shirt which has its sleeves rolled up, a brown vest, a yellow scarf and white pants.
"I was wondering about the caravan and if we may sleep it for the evening, or two?" Ignis adds, he thinks they might be here a while, the blonde might not want to leave. The man nods, walking behind the cash register.
"That's 30 Gil per person. That okay?" he asks typing into the register, the high tech register standing out against the wood and rustic feel of everything else.
"Yes that's fine, it will be the four of us." Ignis answers reaching into his pocket for his wallet.
"Four?" he asks looking at the proper gentleman, then the emo teen, going back and forth between them. "Where are the other two?" he asks putting the numbers in the register.
"I need my camera!" They hear being shouted from outside. The man behind the register stare surprised by the outburst. Ignis and Noct not so much, they know who it is. The body the voice belongs to rushes inside looking around before electric violet eyes land on the prince wildly. "Noct give my camera. Hurry." she all but demands getting close to the raven haired man, holding her hands out impatiently. "Oh, how cute." she says looking at the random Chocobo trinkets, "no, real Chocobo first." she says to herself. Noct places her camera on her hand with a smile on his face. She runs back out, almost body checking Gladio out the way.
"Your going to be late." Gladio says after her, grinning from ear to ear. "So when can we eat?" Gladio asks turning his head, stopping when he spots Ignis at the register, card in hand.
"Sorry big guy, kitchens closed for the night." the man at the register say, small forced grin forms on his face. He's never seen such a tall muscular man before. Who are these people? Are they new hunters? Foreign hunters?
"Really?" Ignis asks slightly surprised, attention ack on the older man.
"Yup, close the cafe an hour before I do the shop." he answers.
"We can just eat these." Noct says holding up a cup noodle, causing the sandy brunette to frown.
"Oh, I don't mind." Gladio says walking to Noct with a smile on his face. Ignis lets out a defeated sigh. They have no choice.
"I'll go get Prom." Noct says turning around.
"We sell small sandwiches, and ice cream." the man says. Ignis nods but before he can say his thanks Gladio sets a mountain of noodle cups down on the counter. He flashes a grin to his lover who raises one eyebrow back.
Noct pauses to stare at Prompto taking pictures like a crazed photographer. Most of the birds ignore her but one of them seems to enjoy the attention. Moving it's head side to side, allowing the blonde different angles. The action only fueling the blonde. With a last chuckle he moves forward.
"Prom, come pick your dinner. The cafe is closed so it's cup noodles." Noctis says. The blonde pauses to look at Noct.
"Okay." she says as if she convinced herself to stop. She follows Noct back to the shop. When they walk in they find Ignis talking to Gladio, looking like he's lecturing the tall man.
"One choice for all, after that you will pay out of your own pocket." Ignis tells the man who look almost like he's pouting. He'll deny it though. Noctis and Prom smile as they get closer. Noct and Prom quickly choose their food. The prince and blonde wait on the side as the advisor pays. Gladio standing behind him to pay for the rest of the noodles he wants. After paying they all walk to the caravan.
As soon as they walk in Gladio starts boiling water. Promoto looks around, Noct sits at the table joined by Ignis who set the bag in the middle. When Prompto is done exploring she joins Noct at the table. After Ignis finishes taking out everyone's meal for the evening he goes into the small kitchen to look through the cupboards to see what they have.
When the water is done boiling they all pour it into their cups waiting for it to finish, as Ignis eats his sandwich. As they wait for their noodles to finish heating up, Ignis speaks up, "who wants to take the first shower?"
"I do!" Prompto shouts raising her hand in the air. "I'm all greasy from working on cars today." she tells them. Ignis nods, he knows she was working late with Cindy while they were all sleeping.
"Any objections?" The advisor asks the other men. They all shake their head.
"No." Noct answers.
"Nope." Gladio answers.
"Then Prompto goes first." Ignis says.
They eat as they talk about their first ever hunt. The boys end up wondering about what she did in the garage. When done Ignis cleans up, Gladio eats the other of his cup noodles that he bought. Prompto goes into the small shower to wash herself. Coming out in fresh pajamas. Noct goes in next.
And when he comes out he thought they could hang out but they find Prompto knocked out on her bunk, something they hadn't decided who was whose.
"Can't blame her. Who knows when the last time she got a full night's sleep." Gladio says, watching the blonde spread out on her bunk, her tank top riding up as she hug the pillow.
"Why don't we hurry and get ready for bed too." Ignis says moving to take his shower.
"Not how I thought this trip would be going." Noct answers looking at Gladio. The behemoth of a man grins.
"I don't think either of us did." Gladio agrees, slurping on his last cup.
