The Photo Hut; Monday [03/13].

[hashtag_chocobro]

There were some new supplies that had come in that needed to be put out on the shelves, some emails to take care of, the usual paperwork to try to poke at, and a few new photos to upload and edit for his site, but you'd better believe that Prompto was absolutely taking a good chunk of his morning to just sort of sit and cling to his mug of coffee and appreciate the fact that the only coworker he had to deal with here was his own wife who, as far as he knew, did not play bagpipes and had no intention of starting, either.

It was so nice and quiet, and, between the baby and the nightmares, he was definitely tired enough that the coffee was pretty much just performative, because in those spots of enjoying the quiet, he was definitely dozing off a little, but hopefully, he wouldn't just completely zonk out to a point where he wouldn't know if a customer came in. That was definitely one thing that ten years of daemon hunting definitely made him pretty good at: detecting even the slightest of noises to rouse you from sleep, as well as definitely being able to sleep with lights on.

The Photo Hut is open!

Liz definitely had no intentions of ever learning the bagpipes so Prompto at least has nothing to worry about there.

Later that morning, she had Noctra who was now awake and took her downstairs for a visit.

“Hi are we disturbing you?” she smiled warmly, “we wanted to say hello,”

Noctra cooed happily in response.

"Hi." Prompto's sleepy smile grew a little more at that responding coo, as he definitely had been dozing a little, but the sound of them coming down pulled him out of it. It helped, too, that he sort of figured they'd pop down at some point, and he lightly shook his head. "Not at all. Great timing, actually. I'm so bored I'm practically falling asleep."

Yup, definitely boredom putting him under, no other reasons for sleepiness here!

“Oh,” Liz was a little concerned at that , “did you want us to head back upstairs so you can sleep?” she knew how tired Prompto was between looking after their daughter and how busy he was with work, she shifted Noctra in her arms slightly, “ I’m guessing it’s been a rather quiet morning?” she said with a soft smile.

"Very quiet," Prompto confirmed with a small smile. "Not complaining. And no, no, it's okay. I'd much rather see you guys."

Yeah, yeah, he saw them plenty when he wasn't working, but they were definitely still at the top of his list, even over stealing naps at work.

"Everything been going okay so far this morning?"

Liz smiled warmly at that, “and we’re very happy to be able to see you,” yes they had seen each other that morning but that was too long ago, “we had a very nice morning together,” she told him, smiling down at Noctra as she held her, “would you like to hold her?”

"I think you already know the answer to that," said Prompto, grinning as he pushed back his chair and stood up, because him going to Liz meant he could also give her a quick kiss (okay, okay, maybe a couple) before the official Changing of the Parent.

And once he had Noctra settled and comfortable in his own arms, he grinned down at her with a little, "Hey, there, little lady. What'd you wanna learn about today, huh? Apertures, or maybe shutters, lens sensors...you know what? I'll even let you do the finance report if you're feeling really ambitious."

She let out a little gurgling fussy sound and Prompto laughed, moving a hand to tickle her belly a little. "No?" he asked. "Not this week? Maybe next time, then, but you don't know what you're missing out on!"

“Oh the finance report is coming up isn’t it?” Liz realised as she watched Prompto and Noctra with a fond smile, “would you like me to start taking a look at it? I could even start writing it,”
