The feed turns on and this little guy is seen. Noctis is sitting patiently, talking to it softly.

"It's ok, I won't hurt you."

Hesitantly the little creature comes up but takes a bite out of the Baconroom in his hand and the king is surprised. "You..can eat that?"

After a minute of seeing the creature not being harmed, Noct sets his pack down and goes to look at a sort of mushroom. He then takes a few pictures and then is satisfied so he goes back to his pack.

"Hey, where did you go?"

And that's when the pack falls over with the Gnoff inside, still nomming happily.

The king sighs. "I guess this means that you're having my lunch at this point."

You think the animal has a family structure? That's cool!

[fatedsacrifice]

I really don't see why they wouldn't. But hell if I know for sure.

[work_wife]

Oh. I guess I was expecting you to be some sort of naturalist. Guess that was silly.

[fatedsacrifice]

Can't say that I am, even if I do spend a lot of time outside making sure what's edible.

[work_wife]

Isn't there, like, a datapoint glowy ball thingy for that?

[fatedsacrifice]

You got it. So you've seen one already I take it?

[work_wife]

Yeah. The one in the fountain? I've heard there are others around.

[fatedsacrifice]

There are, I'm sure given enough time you'll find more of them.

[work_wife]

Enough time? Are the datapoints hidden?

[fatedsacrifice]

Not that I know of.

[work_wife]

Okay. Then I'll start looking. I guess I want to try and be somewhat helpful?

[fatedsacrifice]

That's the general spirit of this place, sounds like you'll fit right in while you're here.

[work_wife]

Oh wow, you think? I'm hoping so. I just prefer it better than renting movies.

[fatedsacrifice]

[He wasn't sure people would want to fit in here, but might as well while they were here.]

What was the last movie you watched?

[work_wife]

The Birds. I really love a good Hitchcock.

[fatedsacrifice]

[He nodded.]

Good call. What was the movie you saw before that?

[work_wife]

Uh... I'll have to think about it? It's been a while?

[fatedsacrifice]

Are you a Star Wars fan?

[Prompto could recite some phrases from that movie.]

[work_wife]

[Wait, what? Robin stares at Noctis, because that was a thing in his world too?]

Apparently that's a universally existing movie franchise.

[fatedsacrifice]

The king shook his head. "Somehow I'm not surprised. Guy I knew back home was way more into it than me."

But the king totally had his favourites too.

[work_wife]

Okay, that's just really cool to learn. That some things could be universal like that.

[fatedsacrifice]

"Glad to hear it's universal though, that helps in a place like this."

As it did when he was gallivanting around with Cecil and that warrior guy. it always helped to hear what things were the same no matter which world one was in.

[work_wife]

"I don't know that it helps, but I'm okay with that. That there's a connection."

[fatedsacrifice]

"Connections are kinda important here."

That he'd found to be really true.

[work_wife]

"Yeah, seems like they are. They're what keep us sane here I think."
