[And a flick of his wrist, the tiny little grape appearing in his palm again. He looks at it a bit critically at first, before... finally offering it to Prompto.]
Don't eat it all at once. Take a bite, and if it tastes odd, please don't go through with this. You may regret it later if you do.
[It's a wayward question, one that has no real weight on the matter at hand. It's just Ardyn stalling, but-
Prompto just looks so eager and curious to see it through to the end, and all he can do is exhale in a half-sigh.]
Very well. Come back for it later then. But if you suffer from a wave of terrible indigestion as a result, remember that I had given you a word of warning.

He takes it from Prompto, and then it disappears into light and nothingness once more. Ardyn smiles.]
Count to five, and I'll bring it back.
no subject
One.
[a long pause]
Two.
[...and so forth, until]
--five!

[he's already shoved it into his mouth, and is biting into it]
[and chewing]
[chewing...]
Hmm...
no subject
He waits... semi-patiently.]
And?
no subject
It's delicious. Tastes like any normal grape, actually.
Can we try the steamed bun, please?
no subject
Fine, hand it here.
[Hands out, waiting for the bun again.]
no subject
Do you think you could leave it there a while? I'll come back for it in, uh, a couple of hours?
no subject
[He takes the bun, and something Protective in him has him just scrounging around for an excuse.]
...It'll get cold.
no subject
Whatever the case, microwaves exist.
[an entire nation just groaned at their traditional food being treated in such a way...]
It's an experiment, and I'm willing to sacrifice part of my meal for it. Unless Noct shares his with me, but, I'll think of ways to convince him.
[he looks so earnest, please ardyn]

[a smile, waiting for the bun to disappear]
Yes, sir.
I promise I won't complain.
no subject
[And with another flash of light and red fractals, the bun disappears.]
Come back later, then. I'll be here.
