~a few hours later~

Rosalie was emotionally drained after the meeting with King Regis. Instead of going to Noctis' old room she went to the courtyard, where her favorite flowers were sure to be in bloom since the moon had risen. She needed this time to herself. Reliving the horrors of the massacre that ensued only a couple of days ago. Once she reached the spot where her flowers were she fell back against the tree. Sitting on the ground as she stared at her father's ring, tears built up in her eyes as her chest began to tighten and started to cause her pain.

She needed someone or something to comfort her. Making a quick decision to summon one of the creatures she had made a contract with, the first one she had ever bonded with. Kinnarus was the name of the dragon was her first summon. Closing her eyes a magic circle appeared on the ground beneath her, glowing a bright white before disappearing. Rosalie raised her head up to look up at the sky, searching for her companion. The sky was pitch black with only a few clouds remaining in the sky, the only other contrast was the bright glow of the full moon.

The Kinnarus let out a screech as it appeared out of the few clouds that were in the sky before flying down to his master. To most Kinnarus was a frightful creature that most would run in fright from, but to Rosalie, he was graceful and kind. The pounding of his four wings snapped Rosalie out of her thoughts as she watched Kinnarus landed near her. Slowly, he made his way to his master, Kinnarus is a very intelligent creature and has such a strong bond with Rosalie that he could feel that something terrible has happened. Once he was close enough to her, he moved his head next to her's and cooed softly at her before nudging her head with his.

Rosie smiled softly before turning her gaze to look into his ever-morphing gold eyes. Her small smiled slowly turned watery, not being able to hold back the burning sensation behind her eyes anymore she threw her arms around his head to hug him. He made deep rumble of affection that resonated from his chest. Kinnarus let her stay in that position for a few moments before growling softly as to alert her that he was moving, she held onto his head tighter in response. Picking her up gently he maneuvered his body to be directly behind her, laying down he rested his head on the ground so she could drape herself across his neck and head.

~Elsewhere~

It was starting to become late and the boys hadn't seen hide nor hair of Rosalie since earlier that afternoon. All of them were getting worried, more so Noctis, Prompto, and Gladiolus than Ignis.

"If your all so worried about her than why don't you go and look for her," Ignis said to the other three while he continued to read. The only reason why he wasn't worried was that he knew she could handle herself and would need some time by herself.

As soon as those words met the three stooges ears they were off going to find their 'Missing Princess.' Noctis went to check the area around where her old room used to be while Gladiolus went to go check the training grounds. That left Prompto in charge of checking the garden. Even though he had just met in a way. He felt like he could trust her. As his mind wandered he quickly realized that he was in the gardens already.

"Man, I really need to pay attention to where I'm going," Prompto said softly as he looked up at the full moon. It brought a different atmosphere with it, it felt peaceful like everything that was illuminated by the moon's light was in a trance.

Being the wonderful photographer he is, he always carried his camera. Taking a well-used camera out of his vest's inside pocket. As he "searched" for the princess, he took many shots of the scenery always trying to use the sky and moon as the backdrop. He continued to walk around the garden slowly making his way into the back of the garden. He froze momentarily seeing a tail...And what the tail was attached to. A giant freaking dragon. Poor Prompto thought his heart was going to burst out of his chest in panic and fright.

Prompto was ready to bolt out of the garden to go get his friends, but something stopped him. He saw Rosalie laying against the dragon, eyes closed. He debated internally if he should approach the beast. Slowly approaching the dragon he crouched down getting as close as he would even dare to get.

"Rosie!" He whispered loudly, desperately trying to get her attention. Rosie stirred a bit in her sleep. The dragon snapped his eyes opened and peered down at Prompto with is gold eyes. Growling softly to alert his master to the stranger. Prompto let out a small shriek as he felt as if the dragon eyes were piercing into his very being.

Rosalie quickly woke up when Kinnarus started to growl. Her eyes snapped open to see her dragon on edge. Following Kinnarus' line of sight, she was surprised to see him growling at poor Prompto. Quicky getting up onto her feet she stood in front of Prompto with her arms raised.

"Kinnarus! Calm down, he's a friend!" Immediately he calmed down at her words, knowing that the boy wasn't a threat he laid his head down on the ground to watch the two.

"Are you okay?" She questioned Prompto who had turned white.

"Uh, yeah totally fine."

"Really you seemed to be scared by Kinnarus?" She said matter-of-factly as a small smirk made its way onto her face.

"Psh..me scared?! Never!" Prompto huffed as he crossed his arms over his chest. Laughing a bit at his antics she held out her hand to him as she gazed down at him her soft purple eyes. Prompto blushed at her gaze as he grabbed her hand and pullrd himself up. After briefly getting lost in her eyes, he shook his head to snap himself out of the trance he had fallen under.

"So, uh, how did he get here?" He asked her not knowing he was still holding her hand.

"Oh, well I have some magic similar to Noctis. But I can summon different creatures I have made a contract with." She explained a little hesitant, for she had never really had anyone interested in her abilities.

"Whoa really?! That's so cool, much cooler that Noctis'," Prompto said animatedly as he waved his arms around releasing her hand in the process.

It was silent for a moment as Rosalie was looking down at her feet, not wanting Prompto to see how red her face was becoming and the reason for her blushing was all because of Prompto. He complimented her abilities, and she had only just realized that they were holding hands when she had lost the warmth from Prompto's when he pulled away. Quickly noticing how awkward it was becoming Prompto decided to break the silence, because in an awkward situation the silence was the one thing he hated most especially when he was the cause of it.

"Question, how do you get rid of the creature you summoned when your done with them?" Prompto asked as he raised his hand high up in the air in a silly manner. His antics worked well because it caused Rosalie to giggle softly, which made his goofy grin get even bigger.

"Simple," She said softly while turning to Kinnarus, "Kinnarus, you are dismissed." The dragon rose up from his laying position and nuzzled his head against Rosalie before taking off into the sky.

Rosalie stood there looking up at the sky, for once feeling at peace. Prompto was looking at the sky as well, never really seeing how beautiful it could be while in the city. The silence that had fallen around the both of them was peaceful.

"Why didn't you come to Noctis' room?" Prompto asked rather quietly compared to his normal self.

"I- I just wanted to be by myself for a while," Rosie replied just as quietly as she moved to sit down on the ground.

"I've lost everything in a matter of days."

"Hey! Tell me about your home, what was it like?" Prompto questioned quickly not wanting her to start crying. Rosalie looked up at him in slight shock as she watched him walk over to her and sit down beside her.

"Well, the capital isn't as big as the crown city but its just as beautiful during the night. The place where I lived was very busy during the day; with guards walking around, diplomats standing around talking about different political matters. But even with all the people, it was very lonely." She admitted as she took a glance at Prompto who was staring intently at her, which caused her to become flustered.

"What was your family like?" He questioned, wondering if she had a happy childhood.

"Well, I'm an only child."

"What about your parents?"

That is where she fell silent for a moment. "I only ever knew my father, my mother died during childbirth. My father was kind and liked to joke around. You actually are like him in some ways."

"Really?" Prompto asked a little shocked that he had similarities to a King. Rosie replied by nodding with a small smile on her face. It was silent once again as the two sat side by side listening to the sounds of the night.

"Prompto?" Rosalie said softly while looking at him.

"Yeah?" He turned to look at her but was blindsided when she hugged him. Prompto was stunned, he didn't think that she would hug him. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around her.

"Thank you." Prompto heard her say before she became heavier in his arms. Looking down he noticed that she had fallen asleep. Prompto smiled warmly at her sleeping figure. He probably should take her back inside. Carefully he stood up with her in his arms and carried her back to Noctis' room. The boys were shocked to see Prompto suddenly walk through the door with Rosalie sleeping in his arms. Once he laid her down on the bed, he explained to them what happened before having Noctis and Gladio tease him about having a crush on her. Ignis told them to knock it off and go to bed seeing how they all had to get up early in the morning.
