[Ardyn leans forward more, ever so slightly, the way a viper undulates upwards right before it threatens to strike.]
No, you didn’t tell me. You commanded me. A distinction I hope you won’t forget to differentiate from now on.
[And now, with idle hands, Ardyn looks down at his sandwich, unwrapping it lazily.]
Do you know why?

[The start-and-stop typing betrays Prompto’s uncertainty, which doesn’t bode well. The text itself isn’t much more encouraging.]
Admirable, and I’m not going to ask you to not look after a close friend. But that’s still the opposite of not finding yourself in danger, Prompto.
You know if you ever need me for anything, reach out. I don’t want anyone hurting you, either.
[TOO BAD MARKUS CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT LMFAO…….]

[MARKUS IS TRYING. HIS SPIRIT WILL BE THERE, WHEN ARDYN TRIES KICKING PROMPTO OFF A BUILDING... nevertheless, prompto thinks that markus shouldn't be worrying about him. he's definitely not worth the trouble.]
i'm not used to having someone to ask for help, you know
outside of my friends from back home... it's not really the same though
[dealing with things on his own; managing the budget so he'd have enough money for food and the rent, which needed to be paid on time, studying despite his part time jobs, cooking for himself after a long school day, helping the neighbors in general home repair...]
i don't think it's something any of us would want you to get into trouble for
[...]
...could you keep an eye on noct if he ends up staying with you guys? i don't think he'll want to talk to me for idk how long even though i want nothing else but to be at his side right now
don't tell him that though

[ardyn leans forward so minutely, but prompto notices, and he leans back, the stool he's sitting on scraping on the ground some.]
[he looks at ardyn with suspicion, trepidation (as he should), not trusting the fact that he acts so casual, unwrapping his sandwich like he's got all the time in the world to make a statement.]
Because you hate doing what others tell you to? You're your own man and you do what you want, no fucks given?
[it's a sassy remark, and prompto should probably definitely cool it.]

less sad, more worrisome
but in this instance i'm almost glad to hear it
good luck

A cake? lmao
[ The temptation to say "yes" is a strong one, to give Prompto this to look forward to because he knows things haven't been easy on his best friend either. It'd be easy to just agree and then try to pretend that that would help, but he knows too well that there'd be a pall cast by his own mood. To him sitting down with a cake is some sign of a celebration, and he's not there yet. ]
idk just do w/e you were gonna do right? The last thing I want is to make a big deal out of it. Ik we're all pretty worn out rn.
It's cool I got it cast.

You might not be used to it, but it doesn’t change the reality of the situation. There are those here who’ll want to see you safe no matter what, and that includes myself.
[He’ll not repeat himself, or press the point further. But Prompto needs to know this is the reality, that he can always rely on Markus — for Markus always takes on the troubles of others, if he can help it.]
I’ll be keeping an eye on him, of course. But you know that if there’s air to be cleared between you two, it’s better sooner rather than later?

Close, I suppose. What man doesn’t enjoy a bit of independence now and again?
[He lets that hang, lets himself consider Prompto’s growing anxiety, bubbling beneath words trying to relay bravado instead. The sandwich unwrapped, he lets it sit there untouched.
Gesturing at the bowl of…bugs—]
Hand me that, won’t you?

i mean it's not a full cake it's like leftover
you're probably right though
[life goes on, they're all kind of busy, and despite noctis coming back to the apartment, prompto isn't sure he'll be too free until after whenever his work shift ends.]
that asshole got some monster strength
[he pauses in his texting, but minute and a half later, he sends out:]
dude
i'm not saying this is anyone's fault i just wanna say that it feels like i haven't seen you in ages
for like obvious reasons again not pointing any fingers
ig i just want to say that i miss you [SAP]
and i'm really really fucking sorry and i wanna make things right
