GENKI SILENT PROTAG. She'll probably strong-arm you into doing something ridiculous, and do so with the cutest smile on earth. She might also poke you with a naginata if you're a punk.
THE SASSY PROTAG. a phantom thief with a heart of gold. lives rebelliously and without regrets, though spends most of his time feigning a very unassuming persona. #nailedit
A true sunshine protagonist. Country bumpkin, slow on the uptake. Wants to be everyone's friend. Swordian Master of fire, incredibly hot-blooded. A GOOD BEAN. Please love him. He's my favorite and I am biased.
The original fabulous Tales science lady. Probably wants to dissect you pretty shamelessly. Loves and adores cute things. Inventor of the Swordians. Definitely the definition of Mad Scientist.
Mm... I was asleep, and I had a very strange dream... and when I woke up, I was here.
[ It would have made more sense to her if she'd been fighting the Enemy of the Week at the time, or some other evil, because she's seen some weird shit in her fourteen years of existence.
That would certainly cause a problem. [ So she'd have to find a place to stay at night, but leaving town would probably make that harder. And where did Chypre even end up, anyway?? ]
[he feels like he just terrified a small, helpless animal or something.]
That's why you're probably gonna need a plan before you go wandering off for home. [among other reasons, but getting into the normal daytime monsters out there and the empire's bullshit seems unwise.]
[ Oh. Oh, okay. So she's short three teammates and a partner, which means she couldn't transform anyway until she found her, and she's in an unknown place with very dangerous monsters that can beat up good-looking men.
Tsubomi may be looking more than a little dismal by this point. ]
[he sees it—and he feels bad, even if he's just telling her the truth for her own safety.
noctis pauses, sighing quietly and fiddling with his hair as he considers his options.]
We... can probably give you a ride as far as Lestallum. [he'll have to talk to the others, but he can probably appeal to gladio's big brother instincts.]
Dunno if it'll be enough to get you home. But it's a pretty big city compared to a place like this out in the sticks. Someone there might have more answers.
Don't let the muscles fool you, he's usually pretty harmless.
[unless someone is a threat to noct, that is.]
His sister's about your age, so he'll be easy to deal with. [he can already predict gladio being embarrassingly cautious about having a teenage girl with them, in any case.]
[ ... Solidarity!! Not that Tsubomi looks or feels anything like that guy over there, but it's another similarity. And if she's approximately his sister's age, maybe this won't be so bad after all. Noct himself seemed nice. Which reminds her-- ]
... Thank you, for helping me. I'll try not to be any trouble.
[noct gives her a bit of a puzzled look, but he wasn't expecting her to suddenly define iris' name.
it's... fine.
either way, he gives a bit of a half-shrug.]
We'll take care of the heavy lifting, don't worry about it. [heavy lifting, aka anything they have to fight off. in the meanwhile, he points out their traveling companions for a quick pre-introduction.]
The big guy there is Gladio. The guy he's talking to is Prompto. And... [he looks around until he spots where iggy's standing] Specs over there, that's Ignis.

[ It would have made more sense to her if she'd been fighting the Enemy of the Week at the time, or some other evil, because she's seen some weird shit in her fourteen years of existence.
Now including this, apparently. ]
... But none of this looks familiar to me at all.
no subject
[which is not to say he's disbelieving. honestly, she looks out of place in her way and she clearly doesn't know who he is or much about lucis at all.
it's suspect in a way that noctis doesn't really understand, but he's not so cynical as to be completely disbelieving, either.]
But I guess you probably just want to get home instead of being stuck in a place you don't know.
[doubly so when it seems like she's here alone. that's probably kind of dangerous.]
no subject
[ She can't trouble this good-looking man any further, she's determined not to. ]
no subject
[he may be good-looking, but it's not like he's an asshole or something.]
You sure about finding your way? It can get kind of rough around here.
[it's a bit disconcerting, honestly.]
no subject
[ Actually, now that he mentions it... ]
Rough... how, exactly?
no subject
[...?
he's about to be way more confused about where she's from, isn't he.]
no subject
[ she sure did just squeak. ]
no subject
[he knows that people who don't leave brightly lit towns too much don't really have much experience with them, but they're still usually, like.
aware.]
no subject
That would certainly cause a problem. [ So she'd have to find a place to stay at night, but leaving town would probably make that harder. And where did Chypre even end up, anyway?? ]
no subject
That's why you're probably gonna need a plan before you go wandering off for home. [among other reasons, but getting into the normal daytime monsters out there and the empire's bullshit seems unwise.]
no subject
Are they... very hard to defeat?
[ Yes, because Tsubomi looks like the type of person who could beat up giant monsters, surely.
(She can, but that's another story.) ]
no subject
[much as he'd really love to not admit that, it's the truth. he and the bros all had times where they needed to retreat.
and it's not like noct's really hurting for offense, even if it doesn't show when he doesn't have his weapons drawn.]
no subject
Tsubomi may be looking more than a little dismal by this point. ]
I see... but I can't really avoid it...

Dunno if it'll be enough to get you home. But it's a pretty big city compared to a place like this out in the sticks. Someone there might have more answers.
[oh.]
And it's pretty safe there.
no subject
[ ... And she's not sure if it'll change a whole lot about her predicament, but a big city might at least afford her better leads, like he'd said. ]
no subject
[he motions to gladio, who seems to be sitting at a small table and talking to prompto about something or other.]
We can handle it.
[really, even if noct can't able to brotherly instinct, what he says goes if he puts his foot down.
being the prince has perks sometimes.]
no subject
[ HE LOOKS LIKE A BEAR but it's fine, she's learned not to judge by appearances multiple times by now. ]
no subject

no subject
[teenage girls! noct may never have a great understanding of them, but he gets the feeling iris will do just fine helping tsubomi out.]
Anyway, don't worry about it. It's not a big deal, long as you can handle being with these knuckleheads for a bit.
no subject
[ Tsubomi, don't go off into flower language now. ]
B-but it's all right! I may not look like it, but I'm sure I can handle... myself...
no subject
it's... fine.

no subject
Is there, um... anything I can do, to be of use when it's not heavy lifting?
no subject
[reasons why he likes it better when ignis drives, naturally.]
no subject
[ Taking along on a teenage girl he barely knows? She'll... have to figure out something. ]
