The Photo Hut - Thursday

[flamesburned]

Today Liz was finally getting around to working on her stack of paperwork that she had been mostly avoiding the past few weeks, she knew it likely wouldn’t happen but she was trying to focus and see if she could make enough progress that she might finally catch up on her emails and general admin tasks that she had to do.

So she was slowly making her way through the work that she had to do, for the time being she was ignoring the financial report and was leaving that til last.

Now that Thursdays were pretty much Prompto's only weekday where he didn't have some sort of employment obligation, he was definitely planning on making the most out of it with his post-jog kitchen-time, making lunch while bopping to some jams with Noctra, and he even enjoyed a little of the clean-up afterwards.

And, of course, the eventual journey downstairs so that lunch could be enjoyed, with Noctra all safe and snug in her sling against his chest so he'd actually have free hands to carry it down.

"Hi," he said, grinning as he proudly came into the shop, proudly bearing two plates with some turkey burgers and some fries that he thought even Ignis would be proud of. "You hungry?"

If she wasn't, he would gladly take on both plates!

"Hi," Liz returned the grin as she gratefully turned from the computer to look up at both Prompto and Noctra, "actually food sounds really great right now," she admitted as she looked at the two plates, "oh these look fantastic, thank you,"

"You're welcome," said Prompto, setting down the plates on the counter with a bob of his head in a sort of bow, "and also...."

He took a moment to whip out a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of mustard from where he'd usually holster his guns, twirling them a little before also placing them down by the plates.

"Condiments, too!"

....yes, he'd practiced that for a literal hour before coming down.

Liz giggled as she watched and then started clapping at that once he was done, "oh that was amazing," she told him with a smile, "I don't think I've ever seen condiments being presented like that before,"

The familiar sound of her mother's laugh set Noctra into giggles and happy sounds as well, and she even responded to the clapping with a few (less than perfect) attempts to clap her own hands together, too, causing Prompto to grin down at her for a moment.

"Oh, yeah?" he said. "You liked that, too, huh? Easy audience today, I'll take it."

Then, holding Noctra extra in place against his chest with one arm, he turned so he could hop up on the counter to sit and grin at Liz.

"Maybe I should pick up a job working the diner with Iggy, too, put these condiment slinging skills to good use."

Liz also took a moment to grin down at Noctra, cooing at her softly before she returned the grin to Prompto and smiled fondly up at him, "they are pretty impressive condiment slinging skills," she agreed, "I mean, only if you feel up to another job," she added quickly, knowing just how busy Prompto was these days.

"What?" asked Prompto, picking up his plate with one hand. "You don't think...."

He counted off jobs on the other hand, his brow ridging more and more as the fingers ticked steadily upwards. "...five, six jobs is enough?"

He was pretty sure that now with Furnado on his roster, he was beating even Summer for jobs actively being held! Well, maybe tying her, who knew what sort of weird stuff she got up to in her off time?

"Oooof. I mean, I guess it keeps me out of trouble? And I mean, at this rate, college for Noctra should be a breeze, too...."

“It’s definitely a lot,” Liz grinned as she reached over to grab her own plate, “I mean you’ve been amazing with everything, with all the jobs you’ve been doing,” she smiled fondly, “just make sure you have some time for yourself as well,” she added.

"I literally spent most of the day yesterday just covered in a pile of puppies," Prompto pointed out, grinning as he took a bite of his burger. "I think we're going to be okay on that end."
