[Dante shrugs. Prompto isn't the first person to bring this option up, but he's still a little bit more comfortable sticking to this explanation than he is any others.]
Depends on who you ask. But I'd rather believe it's a past life of my own than random memories and skills some evil corporation's been able to implant into my mind.
[He can wield a sword now. How could they give him a lifetime of muscle memory?
But regardless, this time when Prompto approaches him, Dante won't look away.]
[the hand over dante's shoulder becomes friendlier, becoming a whole arm around the other's shoulders; companionable, by all means.]
And it only cost me one broken nose. Hey, friends go all the way for friends, no regrets about it.
[it's easy to tell with prompto when things are left as forgiven.]
I'll be honest with you though, I've never had any of these so called memories come back to me... [he leans now against the other, pondering, annoyingly resting his weight onto dante.] Dunno if I'm lucky or if I'm feeling left out. What's up with that?
[Truth be told, it's actually a little bit weird for Dante, how Prompto's arm drapes across his shoulders. Sure, people have done it to him before, but normally he's always slid right out from under them, or else he's been the one drunkenly slinging his arm around someone else's shoulders. For someone--a friend to do it in just a companionable sort of way?
It's strange. Not necessarily bad, he doesn't think. But strange.]
Who knows? Maybe they like you better so they haven't shoved them your way yet.
[It's not a great comeback. But hey, what do you want from him? It's been an intense day.]
You're not the only one, though. I know someone else who hadn't remembered anything yet. She was worrying about it, thinking something was wrong with her. But she remembered something while I was gone.
So who knows? It's bound to happen sooner or later. Maybe we should just start trying things and see if anything sticks.
[A snort.] Only you would be that lucky. But sure, we'll add that to the list.
[Is it lucky, if Prompto is one of the outliers without any of these memories? It certainly seems so to him, especially after this past week and a half...]
Sure, I've got the time to hang. Anything you wanna do? Or just chill?

Yeah, well, you were a part of that too, man.
[He nods.]
Operation "Fuck the Past." Got a nice ring to it.

[oh, the meta-irony]
[prompto's smile widens]
Can we put down 'getting into a fight and breaking my nose' as one of the things that don't stick? I'm honestly fine as I am.
[he pulls away, allowing for riku to have his space again]
You wanna hang for a while longer? Rufus and I just came back from a jog, so we're all tired out.
