Prompto watched the exchange patiently. He'd missed Noct and would've loved to spend every waking moment with him but he knew he had to share with Gladio and Iggy too. If he were to guess, Gladio declining to join them now was his way of sharing the king which Prompto appreciated. He loved spending time with the Big Guy, but Noct just got here.

So he tried to hide the knowing smile at Gladio as Noct's back was to him. It was knowing, but there was a considerable amount of admiration too. Was there a heart bigger than Gladio's? He didn't think so.

The request that Noct kick his ass though had him pretending to look totally scandalized. "And here I was planning on going easy on you!" He grabbed Noct's hand and gave Gladio a wave. "Come on! You're going down!"
