monday, week one
[He has to check the graves.
He's been avoiding it, as if it were unjust and wrong for him to go to the graves of two young girls who deserved better than their fate. They should have been able to do something to save them--
But they couldn't.
That's their guilt, and he can't avoid it by avoiding the graves.
He wasn't expecting to see a figure there already, though.]
...Ah. Young Noctis.
[Whoops. Didn't mean to interrupt your mourning your dead girlfriend time.]

He snorts softly despite himself, amused.]
Indeed. I thoroughly intend to survive--there are tasks I must accomplish in my home as well, that cannot wait for much longer.
[So them's the breaks.]
You may certainly trust me to be cautious, if nothing else.
[Except... in trials?? Where he's loud.]
no subject
[it's .... said jokingly.
kind of.
because it's true, noct really doesn't want to have to leave flowers at barnham's grave because he's really dead. he believes that barnham will be careful, but it's definitely the sort of thing he feels like he should be saying anyway.]
no subject
[At least he sounds confident. He nods simply, arms crossed.]
It is the duty of a knight to protect those who cannot defend themselves. However... a knight who cannot defend himself can defend no one.
[He'll look after himself as best he can, don't worry.]
no subject
[he gets it. he may not be knight, but it's not like he doesn't know people like that. he gets it—it's a duty and a lifestyle, and one that someone like barnham would take a lot of pride in upholding.
gladio may have taught him a lesson or two about how that works.]
no subject
[not that he's...probably a knight anymore in name since he's got the whole prison sentence thing but... you can't take the knight out of a person.]
I do like to believe I am the trustworthy sort--though I am aware this, at the very least, requires proof more than words.
[So he'll try not to be dead.]
no subject
[actions speak louder than words and all that. besides, knightly types really do just have that sort of integrity that shows, no matter what words they say.
he gets it all too well.]
