[The video comes on and Noctis isn't looking at the camera. But he's standing and a loud thud is heard as it sounds as if something heavy just dropped. So the king sighs with a shake of the head.]

Damn it. Anyone have any idea how to secure stuff on the walls? This one thing I keep thinking is secured keeps falling down.

[Right after he says that something else is heard, presumably falling down too.]

Yup, could definitely use some advice here.

Comments

[plate_builder]

You're welcome to. It's an argument we're having right now, over him denying basic facts.

[fatedsacrifice]

Uh no thanks. He's your cat and you can argue with him.

[plate_builder]

He's his own person, even if I have a tie to him, and created him

[fatedsacrifice]

Should I even ask how you did that?

[He was still curious even if Reeve didn't tell him.]

[plate_builder]

My magic.

[A sort of magic that was from his family line, and so very rare.]

I bind a bit of soul to him, giving him life. Back home it is drawn from the life of the planet. Here... Idon't know.

[fatedsacrifice]

You can do stuff like that?

[And even if all he had to compare anything like this to was the Ring of the Lucii in a vague sense since that was about death and siphoning life force but still.]

He hasn't slowed down so it must be drawing it from you?

[Noct was guessing.]

[plate_builder]

Indeed. I cannot fathom why I should suggest that I could if I could not.

[But yes, there seems to be some drawing from him, and that makes him tired.]

Such is our life, and our bond.

[fatedsacrifice]

That's really cool that you have that kind of magic to bring things to life.

[He's totally impressed here.]

Have you always had that ability?

[plate_builder]

I was born with it. I am given to understand it is part of the line of my family, though neither of my parents manifested it.

[Natural magic was growing more and more rare in his world thanks to ShinRa]

[fatedsacrifice]

So it came down through your grandparents then?

[Forgive him here Reeve he's just fascinated.]

[plate_builder]

Yes, that is my understanding. IT was used for small tasks when it was used. Scarecrows that are far more effective at scaring off crows for they were not still, things like hat.

[fatedsacrifice]

[He nodded.]

You're lucky. The scarecrows we got back home sat on the scarecrows and seemed to have a grand old time hanging out.

[plate_builder]

[Reeve laughed and nodded.]

Yes, that was always the issue. Crows are rather smart, and they would soon learn a normal scarecrow was not that bad, and a good perch. Mine could jerk into motion at unexpected junctures, by its own will.

[fatedsacrifice]

But you haven't done anything like that here, right?

[Noctis would love to see it, but he didn't think he missed something like that.]

[plate_builder]

I can't. It seems here I'm very limited in what I can do. And to do that I would have to sacrifice Mini. I don't know that it's a fair trade off.

[Especially when their farming groups seemed to know very well what they were doing without that.]

[fatedsacrifice]

[That had Noctis shaking his head.]

No, sacrificing a cat just isn't worth it. I like him.

[plate_builder]

[Reeve smiled at Noctis's comment, and what's more, he wasn't alone. Mini straightened in Reeve's grasp, and offered Noctis a grin.]

Ah like ya too, Noctis!

[fatedsacrifice]

[Noctis couldn't help but laugh.]

Shoulda figured you were listening.

[plate_builder]

He's often listening in. Such is the nature of our relationship.

[fatedsacrifice]

[The king nodded.]

The way you put that almost sounds creepy. But I get what you mean.

[plate_builder]

[Reeve laughed, even as Mini looked rather offended.]

Yes, I suppose it might seem that way.

[fatedsacrifice]

Well at least the two of you can look out for each other and neither of you will be alone.

[To Noct that was important.]

[plate_builder]

Yes. He's what I have, to keep me strong and to avoid feeling alone.

[fatedsacrifice]

[Noctis smiled.]

Glad here's here for you then.

[plate_builder]

[Well, yes, it is nice to have.]

As am I. He helped me through a lot, including loss of someone important to me."
