[It's obvious by how quick she arrives that her text had been an afterthought. Within a couple minutes, she knocks on the door and shoots off a another text right after.]
Knock knock! It's me. Daylight's burning so we better get moving.
[Iiiirriiiisss... Noct hears the knock (ha ha), then looks at his phone, then deletes the half a reply he started to type like a doofus and gets up to open the door.]
What were you gonna do if I said no? [Since she was already HERE... He's never said no, but.]
Ready as I'll ever be. [Give him space to shuffle out of the apartment and shut the door behind him, thanks.] When do I get to hear the secret of where we're going?
It's a secret to the very end. I'll let you see it with your own two eyes. Shouldn't take long to get there.
[The store she goes to is near housing anyways. Come on, buff bean. She begins to lead the way to the mystery store.]
Oh, and are you feeling okay today?
[Because he was just a wheelchair bound kid the other day. Hopefully the change didn't strain him. That's probably a question she should have asked before setting off on this adventure.]
[He's here, he's coming. He won't run off; this is the most exciting part of his day so far, honestly. The destination being a grocery store won't change that.]
A little embarrassed... [what did his small self Do, he's ashamed] But I can move, if that's what you're asking.
[He says he can still walk, but she looks at his legs just to be sure they aren't wobbling or anything. Better to be safe than sorry. She doesn't have another wheelchair to push him home in.]
Come on, you were a cute kid. You don't need to feel embarrassed at all. It was fun!
[Two out of the infinite amount she gives him for rabbit trivia quizzes. He will keep his B no matter how many short jokes he makes, but he doesn't need to know that.]
My boots make me almost as tall as you.
[She turns to face him and walks backwards as she talks, pointing to those battle heels she has. They add a whole two inches.]
Hey... [Not his points? How will he brag about being so great at trivia?
He waves off this boot business - her battle heels still don't make her tall!! So he's still winning. Super mature.]
Yeah, and I was like, this high. [This he says as he stoops over some to wave his hand at about knee height. He was not this small, but he felt this small. Knee height, Iris.]
[She was able to protect the prince from a tree, A+ for her. It's a moment she'll be proud of for the rest of her life. Don't take that away. In any case, she continues on to her mysterious destination.]
You're welcome, but I think you should be thanking Ignis and Gladdy more. Who knows how long they spent looking for you.
[And he's on a branch the whole time.]
Besides, you're about to make it up to me. So there's no thanks needed.

[Excited yet??]

[The small hope that this was a surprise Iris visit that didn't involve going anywhere, dashed on the rocks. He'll get up, slowly.]

What were you gonna do if I said no? [Since she was already HERE... He's never said no, but.]
no subject
[With who is the real question. Probably Ignis. ]
This trip won't be as fun as the other day, but you get a reward for going. You ready?

Fun for you. [Although, thinking back on it, Iris let him get away with more than some of his other old people friends. So.] ...It wasn't bad.
Didn't like being short again, though. How do you live like that all the time?

And I was tall enough to get you out of the tree.

[Now she stops, lowering her hand midway between her knee and foot. That would have made him about the height of a cat. Very accurate.]
And that still doesn't change the fact I was tall enough to get you down.

[Good job!! He'll tone down the sass, at least, for this:] Thanks for putting up with me.
