The Photo Hut - Thursday

Since Liz had caught up on her admin work from the last week the other day, she only had a few emails to reply to that had come in since then - she decided to spend her morning working on the various social media accounts that she had set up for both her own potential photography business as well as the Photo Huts social media accounts.

It had definitely been a while since she had originally set them up and with everything that had been happening these last couple of months, hadn’t been updating them as well as she should have been ~~and the mun forgot about them~~. So it was definitely enough to keep her morning busy and focused and she was finding that she was quite enjoying going back through old photos to upload them to the various accounts.

Well, hopefully, Liz wouldn't be so busy that she couldn't take a little break when Prompto inevitably showed up after lass and a few errands with some lunch.

"Smoothie?" he offered, holding up a cup and setting it on the counter, along with the bag of food. "Salad?"

Without Ignis around last night to cook for them, he, Gladio, and Noctis had been left to their own devices, and there were....choices made that Prompto was definitely feeling he needed to make dietary pennance for.

"Adorable and long overdue greeting?" he concluded, which, of course, meant sweeping in to plant a swift kiss on Liz's cheek before he grinned stupidly before offering out a, "Hey."

Liz could absolutely take a little break and had stopped working when Prompto came in and gave a warm smile.

“Well I do like the sound all of those options,”. she said, her smile widening and she gave a small laugh as well, “hi,” she said with a grin.

Prompto was going to take a moment to just enjoy this and the certainty that this was never going to get old before he started rooting through the bag to divy out the food between them. "How's the day been so far?" he asked.

“It’s been good,” Liz told him with a smile,”I was just sorting through some social media accounts …. I actually forgot I set up accounts for the store so I’ve been updating them,” she told him, “how about you? How was class?”

"I'll make sure to hop on later," Prompto promised with a grin, "and like and share every single one."

Brandishing a fork, he popped open the lid to his salad.

"And class was good," he said, stabbing that fork into some lettuce. "Went over different kinds of shots. Literally," he chuckled a little at this, shaking his head, "had a student clinging to the ceiling for a bird's eye shot..."

Liz laughed as she opened her own salad, “that would be greatly appreciated,” she told him with a smile.

She took a bite of her salad, “that would certainly have been a different experience,” she grinned.

"I'm just glad it was clear he knew what he was doing," Prompto said, shaking his head a little. "I thought photography was going to be, you know, a safe class, not that I might have to drag students to the clinics because they fell from the ceiling and got a model building, like, stuck in their eye or something. But, also, I mean, hey, if you can...might as well go for it. I'm half-surprised Noctis doesn't just use that teleport stuff all the time, but it does wear him down pretty quick during training."

“I can imagine teleporting would be quite a handy ability to have,” Liz considered and then she paused, “oh how does teleporting work back home for you?” she was intrigued by the way Prompto described Noctis using the ability.

Prompto shrugged a little, mulling over how to explain it as he chewed a bite of his food. "I'm...not really sure, actually," he admitted. "It's really something only the royal family can do; it's in their bloodline, or something, to be able to...tap into the elements of Eos, or something like that. There are other ways to harness it, too; I know Ignis can use it, too, but that's from...a lot of training, and House Scientia is..."

He trailed off, starting to shift his weight a little uncomfortably, at the reminder of his low...well, lower than low...origins.

"I don't know," he concluded, with a shake of his head. "It's connected to his weapons, too. He just...focuses on a spot, I guess, throws his weapon, and then..." His hand made a little bursting motion in the air. "Fwoosh/i>! He's there. But sometimes he can do it without the weapon, too.

"It is pretty cool, though," he allowed, giving Liz a faint smile, "to see in action."

“Oh,” Liz nodded as she listened to his explanation, eating her salad, “that’s certainly something different, I don’t think I’ve ever seen powers like that before,”
she considered, “but that does sound like something that would be incredible to see in action,” she returned that small smile.

"It really is," Prompto said, marveling a little in awe as he thought about it, a faint, admiring grin. "I'll see if I can maybe get a shot to show you next week in training. I'll have to be really good to catch him, though; that guy is fast when he really gets going!"

There was a faint chuckle, and then a pause of hesitation, as that thought tumbled into something that had been on the edge of his mind for a while now. He shifted his weight on his feet a little, pushed some lettuce around with his fork.

"You should meet him sometime," he said. "I think you two will get along.:

...oh gods, but what if they didn't?

Liz grinned, “that sounds like it would be a pretty amazing shot though,” she told him.

There was a pause and then, “I’d like that, I’d like to meet him one day from what you told me he sounds like an incredible person,”

Then she was more worried about making a good impression …she didn’t want to embarrass Prompto in front of his friend …then she began to wonder what Noctis already knew about her.

"I mean," said Prompto, feeling that all too familiar rush of color to his cheeks, with an awkward, crooked sort of smile while his eyes seemed to be suddenly all too interested in the placement of the lettuce leaves in his salad, "he is my best friend. And I...I kinda...owe him...pretty much everything..."

He finally stopped just moving the food around and took a bite, chewing and swallowing before looking over at Liz, the confidence of his smile not at all convincing, but it was trying, as he ventured, "Remember when we were talking about maybe a trip back home at some point? Once all the Christmas stuff was over? You think....you think you'd still want to do that?"

It had kind of taken a back-burner with everything else going on, but they seemed to be heading into a calmer territory again, so...maybe...?

Liz considered, pausing to take a sip of her smoothie, "I'd ...I would still like to do that," she nodded with a small smile, "I think I'd be ready for visiting your home,"

Even though she knew how unpredictable everything could be ... but it seemed to be settling, surely she could manage a visit to Prompto's home world.

There was a pause and then, "um ... does he know about ... well what I can do?" she finally asked.

"Um..." Prompto dropped his eyes again, feeling a little bit more of that awkward blush, as he chewed his lower lip a little. "Not....not really. I didn't....I mean, I know it's not something you...even if now..."

He stopped, shook his head a little, realizing that not a single one of those thoughts managed to be complete sentences, and tried again.

"He knows you've been kind of going through some stuff lately," he offered, "and that it has to do with powers," which he'd only mentioned because he figured Noct would definitely understand that sort of thing, "but that's it..."

Revealing anything more would probably mark Liz as a security risk, which would sort of complicate her visiting a little!

“Oh,” Liz said quietly, she had been wondering about the security implications of her visit because well…letting a potentially unstable pyrokinetic near the crown prince would make a lot of people on edge, “I just …well wasn’t sure, I can’t imagine I’d pass any security checks if anyone knew,” she added, voicing the narrative concerns.
