fandomtownies | The Photo Hut; Monday [03/27].

You know what? Prompto had started his shift pretty stressed out and sort of flaily about what had happened last weekend. Sure, he was incredibly grateful that he and Liz ducked out early like they did, but even the fact that a fire had happened was not going to be easy for Liz to come to terms with. Add in the fact that they still didn't know if Noctra had inherited any of Liz's powers and not knowing how or when they might manifest one day, and he was feeling pretty on edge. Kind of wishing there was more online about how to tell if your baby has fire powers, but also just sort of going over the same 'fireproofing your home' check-lists he'd poured over months ago, as if trying to seek out something that they may have missed, just in case.

....but all that sort of faded away into the background, because, one minute, Prompto was frowning at his screen, as he started to type something into the search bar, and the next minute? That searchbar was nothing but a long keysmash, as capable typing hands were suddenly just big old paws.

Then, with a couple of barks, Prompto, now a puppy, hopped down from the chair he'd previously been sitting in and started sniffing around the store, maybe looking for treats or something fun to play with, flailing about fires now swiftly replace with a desire for belly rubs and ear scritches.

(To be fair, Prompto really didn't need to be a puppy to appreciate belly rubs and ear scritches, but they did take a bit more precedence than usual at the moment).

The Photo Hut is open! And puppified!

The fire had freaked Liz out a fair bit- even though she hadn’t been there when it had happened, she still felt guilty that maybe the fire had happened just because she’d been there.

She came downstairs for her and Noctra’s weekly visit because it helped to think of something other than the fact that there’d been a fire somewhere she had been only hours earlier.

Then she blinked a bit when she realised that Prompto wasn’t there, “hello? Prompto?” she wondered if maybe he’d stepped out for a bit.

Then she spotted the puppy, “oh,” she tilted her head, carefully adjusting Noctra as she came over, "Prompto?" she called softly to see if she could get the puppy's attention.

When Prompto heard his name, his ears immediately perked up, his head bouncing up from where he'd been sniffting out a corner of the shop, and his tell-tale blue eyes bounced around to find the source, and he was able to hone in on Liz by the second time she said it, letting out a cheery bark of greeting and his tail immediately started to wag back and forth so excitedly that he nearly knocked over a bunch of film canisters on a shelf that happened to be just at the right level for the errant wagging.

Another bark, and he scampered over to her her hurriedly, excitedly, eager to see her, eager for pets and maybe even snuggles, but then he stopped just short of hopping on her when he noticed the baby and then instantly, reverently, he stopped and sat down in front of them. Even though he was still practically vibrating with eager puppy energy, he obediently stayed still and reserved, looking up and quirking his head with a curious little sound.

And Liz smiled down at puppy!Prompto as she carefully bent down, being mindful of Noctra in her arms, who hadn’t yet noticed the puppy, “hi Prompto, I bet you’ve had an exciting morning haven’t you?” she carefully held out a hand for Prompto to sniff to see if he would let her pet him.

The fact that Prompto immediately just put the top of his head directly into that outstretched hand after letting out a small, much quieter 'whuff' in mindfulness to not disturb Noctra probably made it pretty clear that he was more than okay with letting her pet him. After all, she was his favorite person. And, in fact, he was of the opinion that she should probably be doing more petting at the moment.

Liz smiled at puppy!Prompto putting his head under her hand and she happily obliged with giving him all the pets that he wanted, “here you go Prompto,” and she did wonder briefly how she was going to manage looking after puppy!Prompto, Rain and Noctra but she was going to figure that out later and for now just focus on giving Prompto all the pets and wondering if maybe she should introduce Noctra to puppy!Prompto and hopefully it wouldn’t be too confusing later on when Prompto turned back.

“This is nice isn’t it?” she said fondly as she petted him, “and I have someone here who wants to meet you too,”

The happy panting as Prompto leaned into Liz's hand even more and the way his tail was thumping on the floor the whole time made it pretty clear that he agreed wholeheartedly with the assessment of how nice this all was, but his head did tilt a little with a curious little sound, before his started looking around and sniffing the air a little in an effort to pick up the unfamiliar scent of whoever this new person she apparently wanted him to meet was.

Liz smiled at how happy Prompto looked at the petting and she gave him a few more pets before she carefully used both hands to turn Noctra around so that she was facing him. “This is Noctra,” she told him gently. “Noctra this is …” she wondered if saying the puppy was her father would confuse her not, “uh …his name is Prompto too,” that shouldn’t be too confusing right?

Noctra looked at puppy!Prompto with wide eyes as she looked and then let out a happy squeal.

There....was a moment, when Prompto's puppy brows furrowed up somewhat worriedly at Liz, when he realized that this new person she was introducing him to was...his own daughter, because....he obviously knew his own daughter, but, well, okay, he'd play along with it anyway, giving her a few tentative sniffs and then letting out a (very careful, very quiet) little bark in response to that squeal, because adorable, and then (softly, quietly), he gave out a little bit of an 'a-roo~roo' sort of howl to see if she could pull off something like that in response, but she was still kind of a little person nugget, she probably wasn't quite there yet.

Noctra tilted her head a bit at the sound that Prompto was making and then she started gurgling in response.

It was nowhere near close to the same sound and it may not have been an actual attempt to copy it but it was still pretty adorable right?

It was definitely close enough for Prompto, who let out a (small, quiet, very carefil) bark of encouragement, and then looked up at Liz with his tail wagging proudly because just look at how smart Noctra was, she'll be howling in no time!

Liz smiled at Prompto and Noctra, as Noctra let out another happy squeal .

She carefully adjusted her hold on Noctra as she reached a hand over to give Prompto a pat, “this is going to be okay isn’t it? It’s going to be fine,”

She really hoped it was going to be okay.
