The Photo Hut - Thursday

[flamesburned]

It was turning out to be quite a busy admin day for Liz when she got to her computer that morning. It had initially started out with just a few emails but then the emails kept coming, so it was keeping her quite occupied that morning between responding to the emails and keeping up with her monthly spreadsheets.

Prompto was really loving having his Thursday mornings off again, so that he could spend his morning after training with Noctra and then whipping up something for lunch to bring down to Liz.

He still wasn't about to give Iggy a run for his money or anything, but he was pretty proud of the chicken skewers he'd put together with Noctra today.

He would not be disclosing how many near-misses there had been with the sticks in tye vicinity of eyes, but they would probably not be doing skewers again until her hand-eye coordination got a little better still.

(Prompto, meanwhile, especially as a gunslinger, really had no excuse).

"Hey, babe," Prompto greeted as they came downstairs and Noctra made a mad toddling dash for her. "Ready for a lunchbreak?"

"Icken ticks!" Noctra informed her, very loudly and helpfully.

Liz smiled, grateful for the break as she turned around to greet Prompto and Noctra," hi," she said, "I'm definitely ready for a lunchbreak," she told him, "and oh wow," she said with a fond smile as Noctra told her what was for lunch, "it sounds amazing, thank you," she said.

"Or 'elcome!" Noctra chirped back at Liz's thank you, and immediately put her arms up to be picked up and demanding her attention before the food or Prompto did. Prompto was going to slip in and steal a quick kiss before she managed to usurp it entirely, but after all? She was all yours, kid.

"Things going alright?" he asked, chuckling, and taking a look around to see if she'd been up to anything other than paperwork.

Which Liz was more than happy to oblige as she picked Noctra up to so she could sit in her lap, she smiled up at Prompto, "things have been alright here, been a bit busier than usual with the paperwork," she added, which probably wasn't going to come as much surprise, "how has your morning been?"

"Good!" Prompto was pleased to admit, although he did feel a little bad that he and Noctra got to hang out and have fun while she slaved away at paperwork all morning. "Training was pretty light since Iggy bounced to Argentina again for a few days," he rolled his eyes slightly, but, well, the guy definitely had earned a little bit of that every once in a while, "and me and Noctra played some games and did some cleaning and then we made lunch, right, nugget?"

"And affer lunch," Noctra started out strong, but the rest sort of got lost in a babble that concluded with the words "arkly ails!" and her holding out her hand to point to her fingernails.

"I promised her we'd do our nails after lunch," Prompto translated, helpful and proud.

Liz grinned, "sounds like a much more fun morning than mine," she said, "and I can't wait to see your nails," she told Noctra fondly. "you'll have to show me when I get back upstairs,"

"And den we can do yours, Mamma," Noctra informed her, reaching to go and take Liz's hand with both of her own, much smaller ones, "when you're done wif work!"

"Good idea, nugget," Prompto complimented with another chuckle.

"And Rain's!"

"Absolutely not."

Well. It had been worth a try!

[flamesburned]

Liz grinned at that, “I don’t think Rain would like that but we can definitely paint my nails after work,” she assured her.

"What color?" Noctra asked, giving Liz a look of disbelief and betrayal that she was siding with that guy on the paintee cat claw topic. "I'm doing purple!"

She made sure to emphasized those tricky p sounds.

Three guesses, too, for who inspired that choice.

[flamesburned]

Liz smiled, "purple is a wonderful colour," she told Noctra and then thought about it, "what colour do you think I should go with?"

"Mmmmmmmm....." Noctra hummed, her whole face scrunching up as she was clearly thinking about it very long and very hard, squinting at Liz as if trying to get the good measure of her before answering her question. "All of them!"

Prompto had to laugh at that, especially at the way Noctra threw out her arms as if to show off the whole spectrum of nail polish colors that would include. "All of them?" he asked incredulously. While still laughing.

But she nodded, very seriously. "All of them."

"Oh, man," he snickered. "We're going to be at this all night!"

[flamesburned]

Liz smiled as she watched Noctra, "it will definitely be a memorable evening," she said fondly, "I don't think I've ever had my nails painted all the colours before," she added.
