Hey. [ He's checked in first with Eichi to gauge the situation, his own discovery came as a total shock. He had questions, but the answer remained as abbreviated and final as a guillotine.
Prompto was his best friend, and now he has the supreme 'joy' of telling him he's gone. Great. He looks about as uncomfortable as you could expect. ]
Have you tried calling Prompto lately?

[Noct's response does not come in video, for at least a practical reason: he's out, he needs his hands to pick stuff up, so unless Gladio wants a video of the side of his head at a bad angle, voice only it is.
This crinkling is the sound of him looking at snack products.]
Uh, no... He's been gone for like a week. [If his delivery seems flat, well, he's been sulky. It is flat. He buys snacks to feel better.]

A week, huh? [ Gladio gives a light sigh, closing his eyes at the news. All he had got was some message, but clearly the mystery of how long that's been here is at least somewhat solved. Half to himself, Gladio mutters: ] Am I really the last to know?
[ Then louder, to Noctis: ] I hadn't seen him in a while, so I tried to see if he was interested in hanging out. Instead I got this weird message, something about him not being in this reality anymore.
...How are you holding up?

[Noctis hums, noncommittal; there's an extra crinkling noise and a kind of shifting of fabric, which is probably just Noctis shrugging. On the phone, where Gladio can't see him because he didn't answer with video. Never mind it.]
Fine. He'll probably be back.
[Let him have this, okay.]
Fine. He'll probably be back.
[Let him have this, okay.]
[ It's fine, he'll just continue to have his face on the screen tucked wherever Noct has his device. Eichi told him he was out running errands so this makes sense.
He takes a little too long to reply, but he does. Gives a firm nod and tries to make his tone sound more hopeful than uncertain. ]
Yeah, you're probably right.
Lets just hope he doesn't come from some weird part of our timeline, like as a kid or something. Can you imagine a guy like him old?

[Don't worry Gladio, you'll spend equal parts of this conversation squished against his ear, waving around at snacks, or under his arm. It's fortunate he didn't answer with video because he would still do all of these things.
Anyway- thanks. For humoring his hope spot.]
Prompto? He'll be exactly the same, just wrinkled.

With roughly five Chocobos under his care. A regular crazy Chocobo lady, only Prompto.
...Oh shit, this just occurred to me -- [ Don't worry, he won't leave you hanging before elaborating on what horror he's realized. ] If he came back old, that shutter fever of his means he'll come back with photos.
Of us.
Old.

Yeah, and then there's you. [ Need he remind you of this travesty. ]
You know, I even took him to the club recently?
[ He's not going to provide the details, but while they're on the topic he might as well keep this comedic ball rolling even if it's a little at Ignis' expense. He does dress a bit old, and Noct dresses a bit young.And Gladio hardly dresses at all ]
Went about as well as you'd expect from our straight-laced chamberlain.

[ And he will never live it down. ]
You know it. [ DRAMATIC SIGH ] People here just can't help themselves when they're in the presence of greatness.
[ It's so hard being so photogenic af #struggle ]

Sure, let's go with that. You're probably still waking up, so you'll get a pass.
You know, if you're interested in checking out some of the nightlife, there's a DJ who's pretty good. He's a client of mine. And of course, there's your roommate.

[The very lengthy pause here is for Noctis physically stopping what he's doing to hold the phone away from his ear, as if this suggestion has personally affronted his delicate ears.
Lord above. Okay, he's back.]
The only nightlife I'm interested in checking out is going to sleep.

[ He's waiting for it... waiting... ]
Oh, come on, you kinda perk up when the sun goes down.
[ At least enough to suggest staying up later for a round of King's Knight. Which. Takes almost no physical effort at all shut up ]
Kinda?

[ WHAT YOU SAID WAS THE DEFINITION OF BORING, NOCT god and here he is talking to Iggy and he's watching socks. Why are you his friends. ]
A real life of the party, aren't you?
Hey, Eichi's your roommate - have you seen him perform yet?

Nah, that's normal for him.
You know how it always seems like Ignis is posing for the camera? Eichi's like that, only more...
[ what's the word...gay ]
Anyway, he's a professional entertainer but don't let that intimidate you -- we could totally crush him in this karaoke video game called StarSing.

Fine. Suit yourself.
[ Which is really not what he means at all. Eventually, Gladio will drag Noctis out on something at some point anyway. He isn't going to let him sleep his life away. ]
I bet Iggy'd do it. He might dress like an old man, but at least he's got my back.
[ Obviously joking, but hey. A little peer pressure never hurt anybody. ]

[ young shrimpy lad he will pick you up one handed SO HELP HIM ]
You do know most of this stuff goes down after dinner, right?

Hm. [ He's not going to answer that, just like he won't acknowledge many of his rebuttals about waking up in the morning either. ]
Anyway, how are you settling in? Need anything?
