The Photo Hut; Monday [01/24].

After last weekend and whatever the hell was going on on Thursday, Prompto had been more than happy to have had a nice, quiet, uneventful, unremarkable, unexciting weekend. More like that, Fandom, please and thank you, although he'd definitely been around long enough to know that this request would be, eventually, summarily and spectacularly denied.

Which just meant he'd just have to be all the happier for the quiet weekends like that weekend all the more, and appreciate the fact that the most taxing thing it seemed he had to do today was go through his camera roll and figure out which of the multitude of adorable pictures of Rain he'd snapped over the past few days, some of them candid, some of them failed attempts to set him up cutely in poses, to keep, among the occasional shot of LIz, some good wintery shots of the island, and the inevitable accidental shots of the other guys' butts what always seemed to show up when he took pictures on their morning runs.

Like...how were some of those angles even possible? But there were always a few.

The Photo Hut is open!

It had been a while since Liz had felt this calm and contented, having the quiet weekend had definitely helped… in fact she almost felt normal for the first time in a long while, at least since everything had happened last month anyway … there was certainly a contrast to how she had been last week.

“Hi,” she said with a smile as she walked over, she had also come downstairs a lot earlier than last week as well, "how has your morning been?"

"Quiet," Prompto answered, grinning over at Liz with the kind of grin that made it pretty clear that this was easily his preferred answer at this particular moment. Then he lifted his camera a little. "Just been clearing out the old memory card."

He seriously took so many random candids at any given moment that doing so could easily be a full-day's job. He took a second to consider what he was currently on and turned the viewscreen toward Liz to show off the shot of Rain sleeping, curled up around a floofy little chocobo cat toy he'd picked up for her not too long ago.

"I think," he declared, in a tone that denoted him as a clear expert in this sort of thing, "this one's a keeper."

“It definitely makes for a nice change,” Liz smiled at his answer and then her smile widened at the photo of Rain that Prompto showed her.

“Oh that is a good one,” she said, looking back up at him with a grin, “definitely a keeper,” she added, agreeing with him.

Prompto grinned back a moment before going through the next three quickly, which were easily all keepers, but, then again, almost all Rain photos were, but he then hit one that was just kind of a blur of her tail as she'd clearly decided to get up and dash off so that one, finally, was one he didn't feel bad about deleting.

And with just that little more progress done on his work, he set the camera down and shifted his attention back to Liz. "How was your morning?"

And, sure, he was pretty confident he could guess that answer, but that didn't mean he didn't like hearing it from her directly.

Liz would definitely agree with that about Rain, especially with the amount of photos she also took of her.

She considered Prompto’s question.

“It’s, it’s been good,” she told him, smiling, “I’ve been feeling ..really good,”

She knew how quickly that could all change so for now she was enjoying one of her calmer and more peaceful moods.

Could Rain possibly now be one of the multiverse's most photographed cat ever? If anything, she probably was a strong contender, at this point!

And, sure enough, that was about what Prompto expected, and, just as he thought, it was definitely nice to just hear her say it. "Good," he said, adding his own contribution to all that good-ness and just sort of enjoying it for a moment, especially because, yeah, he knew, too, that next weekend, they just might be singing a completely different tune. Had to enjoy it while it lasted.

"Any thrilling and exciting plans for the rest of your day?"

It was very possible, she was definitely a well photographed cat for sure.

“Well I have my class this evening but other than that … “ she said with a grin, “my day’s pretty free, nothing too thrilling or exciting I’m afraid,”

"That's a shame," said Prompto, with a little click of his tongue and a shake of his head, but it was funny, he sure didn't sound too dismayed by this information, and the grin back definitely didn't help things, either. He sighed heavily, though, taking an overexaggerated look around the shop and the fact that they were, indeed, very much the only two people in it at that moment.

"Looks like we're in the same non-thrilling, un-exciting boat together, huh?"

And he sounded very much like that was no where else he would rather be than that non-thrilling and thoroughly unexciting boat, either.

"How is that class going, anyway?" he then asked, tilting his head with interest before leaning an elbow on the counter and cradling his chin in his hand to let her know his attention was entirely on her now.

At least until someone walked in needing help, anyway, but, come on. What were even the chances of that?

Liz laughed at that, “it looks that way,” she smiled.

There was a pause as she considered her response, “Class has been good,” she told him, even if it was still a bit strange being in a class taught by your therapist.

“we went to Miami last week, that was different,” she told him, “we ate at a Cuban restaurant, I hadn’t done that before,”

"I'm not sure I've ever had Cuban before, either," Prompto admitted, although there was a good chance he'd had something similar or some Eos-equivilent at some point with Ignis around. "Was it any good?"

“It was,” Liz told him, nodding “it was nice for something different,” she said, “also it was nice to get out of Fandom for a bit as well …I like the cold, but the warmer weather was nice for a change as well,”

"I like all the snow," Prompto admitted witha soft grin. "Not...too much, because, yeah, no, I don't do that great with the snow, but we don't really get snow in Insomnia, so it's nice to...get to see it."

Maybe not so nice when that snow decided to attack, but that hadn't really happened in a while, so...he was happy to enjoy it, while he could, but his attention found itself less on snow and a little more on what Liz said about getting out of Fandom for a bit...

They had talked, a while ago, about her maybe coming with him one of these days, to Insomnia, once all the holiday stuff was over, but then...with something last week happening...He looked at her thoughtfully for a moment, wondering if maybe...but he wouldn't want to push her, he should give her more time, right?

He smiled, tried to clear it from his head.

"Could do without all the jogging in it," he added, with a laugh, "though, that's for sure."

Liz smiled, “I must admit I haven’t actually run in snow since basic training when I started working on becoming an agent,” she hadn’t thought of that in years and she realised was the first time she’d actually talked about anything about her old job and felt comfortable bringing it up.

If she’d known what Prompto was thinking, well she would actually quite like the idea …even though she’d be a bit nervous visiting his home.

"I mean," Prompto laughed a little again, his cheeks going just a touch pink as he leaned toward Liz enough to sort of playfully nudge her shoulder with his, "you could always just join us one of these mornings, if you were really feeling nostalgic for it."

And he realized that Liz never really did talk about having been an agent much, but, at the same time, he couldn't really blame her. But, even having been the the BPRD, it was like a whole side of her that he till had left to really uncover...

Liz laughed when he playfully nudged her shoulder and also a blushed a bit, “well if you wouldn’t mind an extra person joining you …maybe I can one morning,”she said shyly. “I mean ..it’s been a while since I’ve done any kind of running though,” she added.

She figured this would be something Dr. Lecter would approve of …getting outside in the fresh air and also the physical exercise as well.

"Gladio will yell at you, though," Prompto warned her; he didn't want to dissuade her because he actually thought it would be kind of nice, having her as a running partner, "if you start to drag behind..."

Which he definitely knew from personal experience. Ugh.

“Well I suppose that would be a good incentive to keep up with everyone,” Liz said with a nervous smile.

and hopefully she wouldn’t cry too much when she inevitably did fall behind and the yelling happened, since she was completely out of practice with this aspect of her training.

As if Prompto would just let her fall behind! If she couldn't keep up, he'd just set his pace to hers. He wouldn't mind an excuse to take it a little easier, anyway.

But as it was, he just grinned a litlte, shook his head, and lifted his hands as if to suggest the situation was now officially out of them. He chuckled a little and said, "Alright, then. When I drag you out of bed bright and early Friday morning before classes, you'll know why."

Liz laughed at that and blushed slightly, “well at least it won’t be a complete surprise when you do,” she smiled, “it’ll be nice though, to have something different to work at it,”

"We could always just do our own route, too," Prompto suggested, now that he was thinking about this a little more and definitely saw the scenario without his two compatriots in the equation as the much better one. "I bet I could convince Gladio to allow it if we, like, made it a race to see who gets to a certain spot first."

He cracked a crooked grin at Liz.

"We'll obviously just let them win that one."

“Of course,” Liz’s smile widened, “after it all it would only be fair,” she added.

There was a pause , “as long as it’s not going to interfere with your own training or anything,” she said quickly.

Prompto rolled his eyes a little, shaking his head, but he was laughing. "It's fine," he assured her, "trust me. And if either of them says something, we can just...say we had to...change course to avoid gremlins or ran into a porg parade, or some other random Fandom thing."

.....now he was kind of hoping they did run into a porg parade, because that sounded adorable.

"They'll get over it."

"Well if you're sure, then that sounds like a plan," she grinned, even though she also liked the idea of actually running into a porg parade or even running into the porgs in general.

Maybe they could take a detour to one of their nesting spots while on their run?

"Sounds like a plan," Prompto echoed, just taking a moment to enjoy...this...this moment, joking around, making plans...And then he had to laugh.

"I can't believe," he noted, with an expression of amused disbelief, "we just made a date to go running."

“It does seem rather strange doesn’t it?” Liz grinned, blushing slightly, “but it’s nice … all of this, I’ve … I’ve missed this,”

She was definitely appreciating how nice it was and… especially after … well everything …she knew now not to take these kind of moments for granted.

"Yeah, well," said Prompto, his grin gone sheepish and definitely blushing, as he leaned over to give her a kiss, because there was no way anyone could say something as scmoopy as what was about to leave his mouth and not make up for it with at least a kiss, "if there's anything that can make even running better...it'd be you."

"Oh?" Liz turned bright red at that and was unable to think of anything else to say and so was very grateful for the kiss as a distraction from how red she was turning and happily returned it.

Oh, dear gods, those words really, seriously left his mouth, didn't they? And, even more amazingly, she didn't hate it? But there was no way he could think of something to follow that up, whether good or bad. Not anytime soon, anyway, but, thankfully, Prompto also found simply resorting to more kissing as a good alternative to thinking of something else to say.

Liz really didn't mind any of this... she was really content to just enjoy this moment and the kissing and how nice this felt.

She was definitely appreciating these quieter moments now and how calm and content they made her feel.
