The Photo Hut; Monday [06/26].

[hashtag_chocobro]

Prompto had, of course, taken a lot of photos all weekend, everything from the food and cake and presents from Liz's birthday to the Pride Festival on Saturday, to the Pride Parade yesterday that he was definitely at, really, so, naturally, that Monday, he was spending a lot of time at the computer uploading and sorting and editing some of them, trying to figure out which ones might be good for his stock photo profile and which were great for his personal memories albums.

At one point, though, he was frowning at the thermostat and wondering if the AC was working as well as it should, because it felt like his ears were kind of burning? Just his ears, though, and he had the urge to sort of rub his wrists, as if the skin under his barcodes were burning, too.

It went away after he sneezed, though, a short series of sneezes that he then blinked away and didn't have any issues after that, so he just shrugged and went back to his work without thinking anything more about it.

The Photo Hut is open!

Around lunchtime Liz and Noctra made their way downstairs for their usual visit.

“Hi, are we interrupting?” she smiled as she looked over to see what Prompto was working on and Noctra cooed away happily as she took in her surroundings.

"Hi," said Prompto, blinking a little as he realized he'd sort of gotten into a little bit of a zone there in going through the pictures and needing a moment to adjust to the world outside the computer screen. He was a little surprised it was already around lunchtime, not needing to glance at the clock on the computer to confirm it thanks to the regularity of these visits, but he still did because the morning really flew by for him.

Now that he was back to it, he smiled at Liz and Noctra and pushed back his chair a little to show they now had his undivided attention, and, to prove it, his arms went up for the ceremonial Passing of the Baby. "And no, not really, just going through some of the shots from this weekend. Got some really great stuff. How've things been this morning?"

"We've been good," Liz smiled as she carefully handed Noctra over, "I think Noctra quite enjoyed her weekend," she said as Noctra gurgled happily.

"I need to get round to sorting my photos as well," Liz admitted, since to the surprise of no one she had taken a lot of photos over the weekend as well, "that might be this week's task, along with finishing up the financial report," she added.

"Ugh," Prompto said, almost impulsively, making a face at the mention of the financial report, "I do not envy you that."

But since he was already making a face, he made a few more silly ones at Noctra before giving her a gushing greeting that informed her of how cute she was and that he hoped she'd been good that morning for her mom, before settling her in the crook of his arm against his chest.

"The financial report," he clarified, a second later, "not the photo sorting. Obviously, since that's what I'm doing right now. But, yeah, she was great this weekend, barely any fussing. I love that there's been so much to take her out to experience lately."

“Unfortunately it needs to be done, I know I’ve been putting it off for a while,” Liz admitted as she watched Prompto and Noctra with a fond smile, “and she really has taken to her outings, I think the summer will be good for her for that, being able to get her used to going outside,” she added.

"What do you think, nugget?" Prompto asked, looking down at Noctra and giving her tummy a tickle, with the expected result of a little giggle and a lot of spit bubbles. "You wanna keep getting out there and soaking up the sun?"

There was a bit of a babble in response.

"I'm taking that as a yes," Prompto decided with a laugh, and then, thinking along those lines, he mused, "Maybe if the weather cooperates, we can do a picnic sometimes this week, especially since I don't have a class to worry about."

Not that his class had been all that demanding, but still!

"And if it doesn't? Picnic inside, I guess!"

Liz smiled warmly at that, “a picnic sounds like a wonderful idea,” she said, “either an outdoor or indoor picnic, depending on the weather,” her smile widened.
