Prompto walks over to the boys sulking. She sees them staring at something. She gets closer then asks, "what's wrong?" she tilts her head slightly. They twist their heads to her.
"Something weird. The tickets?" Noct asks. His focus should be on her not some random, though creepy stranger.
"Nothing." she shakes her head. "Accordo is in the middle of a typhoon and hurricane so all ferries are postponed until further notice. Those who purchased tickets before hand are getting them switched." the blonde answers as they stare shocked. "What?" she asks.
"Nothing." Noct shakes his head. "Guess we're eating then going to the hotel." he looks at Ignis. All shocked that the creepy stranger was telling the truth. Creepy but honest.
"Guess so." Ignis says. Seems to be the only option now.
"Wonder how long the typhoon will last?" Gladio asks. They start moving to the restaurant. As Prom walks her eyes catch the mysterious man standing in the distance not sure where he's looking but she felt like it's at her. She shakes her head, looking forward. She's just being paranoid. Why would he be staring at her? They don't know each other.
"It's not up to us." Ignis answers.
"It almost feels like the Astrals are trying to stop us from going to Tenebrae." Prom says randomly. The three stop to turn to her.
"That's absurd." Ignis disagrees.
"Why would they?" Noct wonders.
"Pretty sure they can do worse." Gladio answers.
"It's just a little suspicious that our car broke down "mysteriously,"" Prompto changes her voice a little higher as she uses air quotes, "then we get attacked by MTs, the assassins festival just so happen to be around and now the typhoon or hurricane. Seems like too much to be a coincident." Prom explains herself.
"Bad things happen?" is Nocts reasoning which the two retainers agree with. Proms eyes narrow at the prince.
"Says the chosen one who has his life predestined before the age of three." she mutters to them. She lets out a loud sigh. Features relaxing. "Fine, if you say so. Guess I was just talking out of my ass then." she shrugs. "Let's go eat." she tells them moving forward, continuing their trek to the restaurant. The weird cosplaying man long forgotten.
The restaurant was so full they couldn't get their own tables like Ignis wanted. They have to share a table. Noct and Prom sitting next to each other while Gladio and Ignis sit across them. They order and wait.
"We might be here awhile." Iggy says looking at his phone. Gladio turns to his lover as Noct and Prom looking up from his phone, both of their shoulders pressed together.
"It's that bad?" Prom asks face scrunch up in worry. That doesn't sound good
"The news are showing quite a storm. Doesn't seem like it would ever end." Ignis says, showing off his phone. They all take a look at his phone, Noct and Prompto leaning forward to see the small screen, seeing the news stream what is going around Accordo, the rain came down hard, the wind going by strong. The streets empty as the water level rise. It look so bad and they can only imagine what the surrounding small cities look like. Accordo is an archipelago.
"That looks like it's going to be a long storm." Noct says leaning back in his chair. Prom leaning back in her chair.
"Is this all right? We are taking a lot of detours." the blonde asks, worried about missing the party.
"We won't be able to explore Accordo as much as we want." Ignis says putting his phone away. The waitress comes and puts their drinks down.
"I want to hurry and get to Tenebrae, to Fenestala." the blonde says taking her drink closer.
"Tired of traveling already?" Gladio asks with a grin.
"It hasn't been smooth sailing." Prom says looking at the behemoth like man. They make small talk as they wait for their food.
When their food comes they continue to talk, enjoying their meal with small talk. Even when they finished they sat around talking. Prompto enjoys moments like this, them all sitting around, enjoying each others company, talking with each other, joking around, laughing. They talk about exploring the port town. Prompto thought they all would go together, they haven't done anything as a group so this seem like a good chance to. No, Ignis and Gladio go their separate ways leaving Noct and Prom alone again. Prom didn't think about it to much about it as she joined the prince in his fishing. Taking pictures of them, of the pier they sat down at, their feet in the cold water, the sun set, a building in the background. Of course the two love the moments together. Especially when Noct gets a catch. The blonde took many pictures, different angles and poses. Then Noct asked Prom if she wanted to try.
She decided why not?
Noct helped her get the hang of it then they sat together in comfortable silence. Then when she got a nibble on the fish she started freaking out. She looked at Noct panicking for help. Noct was a little worried nothing would catch so he's glad the blonde got her first fish. She looked so proud of herself when she got it. She made Noct take many pictures of her, instructing him.
They met up with Ignis and Gladio at the hotel. Checking in then going to their rooms to sleep.
The first one awake is Gladio, then Ignis, next is Prompto. Gladio and Prom doing their morning run. Ignis staying in the room, working on his phone, like the mad lad he is. Noct slowly woke up, slowly getting dressed. Gladio came in sweaty, going to the bathroom to clean up. Gladio grins at Noct telling he might want to hurry up and meet up with the blonde. Noct looks at him curiously. Why?
She's going swimming.
Noct rushes out the room, going to her room knocking on the door and when he figure she's not inside he runs outside to the beach. For being early in the morning it was warm so already there were people on chairs, blankets, under beach umbrellas, a child or two are already out making sandcastles. He found the blonde and ran to her, keeping guys away.
He kept close to her, as possessive as it sounds, he kept many random guys away, which she didn't mind. She did think about wanting to bring Astrum here to enjoy the sun, sand and sea. Ignis came with breakfast and clothes then left.
That's when Prompto noticed Gladio hasn't shown up. Ignis coming back with lunch and dinner then disappearing again.
Sort of made her sad. Did they not want to hang out with her?
Noct noticed her mood and changed that. They went swimming and build a sand sculpture. Resting in the sun. Passing time until they can continue their journey.
