[He decides not to point out that the crown of the King of Lucis was, by his father's time, little more than a subtle silver horn worn behind his right ear. The heavier weight is the ring on Noctis's finger.]

Just sit down at the table, and put your hand in mine. You can recite an oath if you want, but like I said, it's really not necessary here. Caleb didn't do it, for example. [There's no king to protect, no Lucis to guard. Just Noctis, trying desperately to keep his friends safe.]

[anyprice]

Yeah, well. Caleb's a lazy raccoon who's more socially awkward than he'll admit.

[ he's gonna scurry over and take a seat on the table, and offer his hand to Noctis. a clever little grin on his face. ]

I promise that I won't go fifteen years without calling you ever again--and that so long as I live and breathe, I'll spend every hour I'm not working training my skills to one day school your butt in videogames.

How's that for an oath?

[illucesco]

Least he's making more friends now. [He blinks in surprise, then smiles a little, clearly pleased.] Yeah. That works too. And I promise—I'll look out for you, and back you up if you need it. [Pause.] And not warn people when you're scamming them.

[It's just a little walking-around money. He takes Sampo's hand, and closes his eyes. The Ring of the Lucii glows a soft blue, and the smallest cracks form on Noctis's skin around the ring. With the glow comes a warm feeling, like summer sunlight on the skin, like a blanket draped over a sleeping body on the couch.

Then the feeling, and the glow, fades away, and Noctis opens his eyes.]

There. That should work. [He pulls his hands away, then takes the ring off and stuffs it into a pocket. The cracks are still evident, but begin to sluggishly fade once the ring comes off.] Try throwing something and concentrating on grabbing it before it hits the ground.
