Furnado Animal Shelter; Wednesday [05/08].

There were a lot of times when Prompto found himself really missing Sidon, especially when he was at the shelter, what with all its memories and the fact that the whole reason they had a giant fishtank in the back for the fish was so that he'd have a place to stay in the wintertime. But today was one of those days where he really found himself wishing the Zora Prince was still around to help him out of a fishy situation in particular, leaving him to ponder to himself: what would Sidon do?

Because there was definitely something aggressive and pointed in the way some of the cats kept dragging their sushi themed toys by the fishtanks and playing with them, and Prompto was not feeling like he was going to be capable of handling whatever might happen if things really did go down.

Furnado is open!

Sometime during his shift, a text would arrive. Darling, make sure the squirrels can't read your texts, please.

Which is a real sentence real people apparently had to say on this island. Or, at least, type.

After a bit of scrambling and having to roll his eyes as he clarified to the vet that it was for the squirrels when she gave him a very judgemental look for asking her where they kept their rum, Prompto felt sufficient bribed were made enough that he could respond.

But he still hunched over his phone with a hand curled around its side as he typed with his thumb, just to make sure.

squirrel spies settled! What's up lils?

Weren't you just so glad that nickname was gaining traction, Liliana?

And people wondered why she committed war crimes.

She glared down at her phone, hoping it would some how be transferred via whatever magic made phones go to the recipient, but responded only, We need to reschedule. I am currently voiceless, which I feel will be a detriment to any attempts to learn things.

Shut up, Dean, literally nobody was asking for your opinion. She could sense the snarky commentary through both space and time, considering she was informing Dean to shut up even as she finished typing out the message.

It was a sign of affection, Lils! You gave people nicknames when you liked them! Iggy had, like, the most nicknames out of all of them, even, see??

oh yeah I heard about that 😟😟😟 but yeah do whatever u need 2 do! I'd ask if u need anything but u got igs, I'm sure he's got it more than covered!

I hope u feel better soon though!

Mmmm. Jury was still out on that. Who needed affection when you had fear?

Excellent, she sent, despairing of his orthography. I'll let you know when this passes and we'll set something else then. Thank you, darling.

And just when he thought it was safe...

How long until the squirrels decide we're carrying on an illicit affair with all this sneaking and skullduggery? Dibs on having seduced you off the path of righteous fidelity.

But Liliana! With Prompto, you could have both!

And here he was just about to type just a nice response of a thumbs up emoji when that hit his phone, and the color drained from his face the more and more he read of that second response.

And then the color came back with a vengeance.

no, never, no dibs!!! I am deleting this entire conversation from my phone and then destroying it!!

You know. Just like those bat pictures....

Okay, Liliana could agree with both being the most preferential outcome.

And at his response, she laughed aloud. Well. Not really 'aloud,' what with the whole 'mute' thing, but her shoulders shook with laughter anyway.

Like that isn't going to add to the squirrel speculation, if you're literally destroying evidence, darling. You might as well just accept that we'll be the subject of speculation and use it to add to your mystique.

Because that was definitely something Prompto had in spades.

yeah, no, I'll just leave all the mystique to u and iggy. I'm perfectly happy with being a big wide open book!

In fact, he was 1000% telling Liz about this entite conversation pretty much the moment he got home!

Just like he was going to 1000% gonna delete those bat pictures, huh?

So long as you understand that I have no intention of denying any allegations, simply smiling mysteriously and moving on.

He was this time!

And, besides, was it a crime for a guy to have a cadre of adorable bat pictures of one of his besties on his phone? Prompto thought not!

liliana! Nooooooo! Whyyyyyyy? Can't u just tell them we're doing shooting lessons or something? U did say u wanted to learn that 2!!!

That's right, Liliana. See? Fear!

Darling, do I strike you as the kind of woman who wishes to explain her affairs to people intent on sticking their noses into my business? Had she needed to use the word 'affairs' there? No. Had it been too funny to pass up? Yes.

Prompto frowned at that response for a good, long time before responding.

and do I strike you as the kind of person who wants people speculating on untrue and potentially harmful claims about me that can be just as easily cleared up?

Oh, Prompto, you were no fun. She could feel those puppy eyes over the phone.

First, darling, I would argue whole-heartedly that they would be actually harmful, considering the known penchant for drama at the expense of veracity the squirrels have as well as the fact that no one, especially Liz or Ignis would ever believe of you. No one who has seen you with your wife could possibly doubt your adoration. Second, I suppose, since I am a kind and very generous woman, that should the squirrels start spreading any particularly salacious rumors, I could be persuaded to quash them.

The rumors? The squirrels? Who could say!

Sorry, Liliana. Even a puppy will bite if it feels cornered.

seriously liliana. If this turns into a thing I'm calling the lessons off.

To be clear, Prompto, I have no intentions of MAKING it a thing. I adore playing games but not of that sort. I am not actually certain what you would want me to do, since addressing rumors of that type only give them more fuel and I didn't think you were the type to approve of me tearing those memories out of people's heads. But I shall keep your terms in mind.

oh yeah smiling mysteriously and moving on is definitely going to put an end to the rumors WAY better than just saying we're doing shooting lessons!

It doesn't even have to be a lie, we can start with that and move onto the cars!

Sorry if that puts too much of a crimp in your ~cool and mysterious~ vibes

Apology accepted. Of course Liliana knew that was sarcasm, but had you met her? Though I think you overestimate my unwillingness to lie.

Listen, the fact that she wanted to tell Ignis the truth about the Chain Veil was not to be taken as some kind of overarching commitment to honesty and openness.

But YES, Prompto, I WOULD, in fact, act differently if this were to actually happen, rather than droll speculation over text. I would also, for example, leave a burning building rather than giving the flames an arrogant look and making them go around me, and I would not alter the world's weather patterns after rain had the audacity to get me wet.

Jon came by in the afternoon and looked around, beelining for the cat toys.

What? He had a reason to be here, but nothing said he couldn't also spoil Issa.

"Oh, hey, Jo--" Prompto started, but then Jon appeared to be a man on a mission, so he lowered his hand, shrugged to Noctra currently playing beautician on a very patient old collid, and just let the man do what he'd clearly came here for.

Jon got a small selection of catnip toys and headed for the counter before the greeting finally registered.

"Oh. Um, sorry. Hello! Sorry, I just didn't want to forget."

"Hey, no worries, man," said Prompto, as he started to ring up what Jon had picked up and, from her spot on the floor,Noctra paused her doggie make-over to just stare up at them, "I know how it is, don't want to miss the essentials! How've you been?"

"I've been...surprisingly well, I suppose," Jon answered. "I hope you've been well."

That surprisingly got a little extra bit of a grin from Prompto; he definitely knew how that could go!

"Oh, yeah, definitely," he said. "Been keeping busy, definitely got my hands full with that one right there. Spent a little bit as a puppy, pretty glad that's over now. Looking forward to the new semester. Thinking about dragging Noctra with me for Gladio's camping class, I think she'll get a kick out of it."

"I've been thinking of taking that one," Jon admitted. "It's...it's never really my thing, but Gladio is good to learn from. If a bit...erm. Enthusiastic."

Prompto snorted at that, and then seemed to wince, just a little, as if worried Gladio might even heard that from all the way over at his place.

"He's usually a little more chill when it's just the camping one," he offered helpfully. "It's the wilderness ones that he goes all intense over. Maybe not completely just sitting around a campfire eating Cup Noodle^TM and singing Kum-bay-ya, but still pretty close!"

"Oh. Well, then. I probably will take it. Thank you." Jon nodded. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about classes. About my class, specifically. I, um. I don't know if you've seen it on the list."

"Oh, yeah!" Prompto's face lit up and he chuckled a little. "The one just called Cats!, right? I thought about taking that one, too, but Mondays are my Photo Hut days and I don't need Rain getting even more jealous than she already does between this place and Nell's cats, too."

And then he seemed to make the connection.

"Oh! Did you need cats for it?"

"Oh!" Jon blinked. "I hadn't actually thought of that, but maybe? It might be good to have some guests each week. But I was thinking of a trip here one week, to meet the cats for adoption and see some of the things for sale. If that would be okay."
