1 - Push yourself
WHO: Noctis and YOU (and a pair of dogs)
WHERE: Hotel, various other areas
WHAT: Getting a better feel (literally in some cases) for the area, exploring in general
WHEN: Towards the end of September, after the air row signs appear
WARNINGS: Nothing really
Hotel
So Noctis may have been on this world for nearly two months, but he hasn't accomplished much. From what he can tell, a good portion of the city is either rubble or looking to become rubble, and combined with the fact that he's never sure what time it is exactly at any given time (besides a vague sense of night and day), he hasn't wanted to do much.
At the very least, he's figured out the layout of his and Prompto's--wherever he disappeared to, he wasn't there when Noctis woke up--room and parts of the hotel.
If you're around the hotel, you might find Noctis wandering randomly but purposefully. He's got a sharp piece of metal he found in the rubble and is making his way around the building, stopping at each doorway to carve a letter or number into the door itself or beside it at about eye level, as deep as he can.
"Here's to hoping these stick around."
Around
Outside of the hotel, Noctis is much less purposeful. This time, he's got a cane in one hand and is flanked by two spitz-type dogs, one black and one white. They're doing their own exploring, but at least one tries to stick near him whenever possible. If approached, they're friendly enough, though they seem to be able to tell just who might be a threat of some sort to either them or their master.
He can mostly be found near the fountain in the town square and tends to stick within a couple buildings of there. Sometimes he manages to make it to the edges of the town, dogs in tow, trying somewhat successfully to get them to tell him whether whatever plants he's just found growing nearby are of the edible sort or not. Nothing's tried to eat his hands so far, and he's not touching anything the dogs have growled at, so he thinks he's doing pretty well.
"How about this one?"

"How about this one?"
no subject
"Uh..." Still very soft-spoken, she looks down at her notes for a moment before sighing. "Oh, I'm just... Obsessively re-reading my own notes in the corner of a public hallway, like a weirdo."
The pages rustle a little as she halfway-closes the book, more out of self-consciousness than anything. She's pretty quick to change the subject.
"What'd you mark the one four doors down?"
no subject
She's more than welcome to assume what she wants about him, or even ask. He'll correct her if she assumes wrong. As for the carving...
"Four doors that way? Should be marked with an 'E'." He's going in alphabetical order--or semi-alphabetical order, since the current door is going to be 'Ii" and not just 'I'. 'A' is his room.
no subject
And then, after another moment of contemplative silence, she shuts her book.
"So are you blind, or something?"
Kind of blunt, but she's already getting the feeling he might prefer a direct question over someone being overly polite and weird about asking.
no subject
He's a little surprised that she's asked so directly, and doesn't bother to hide that surprise. Back home, people wouldn't mention it very often, or if they didn't know, would just ask what happened. So even though she didn't ask, he's automatically prepared to tell her yes and why, even though he doesn't have to.
"Yeah, but I'm still getting used to it. It's been...'bout a year now."
no subject
The fact that he keeps talking about it is somewhat encouraging. Krista leans forward so that she can rest her chin on her hands.
"Can I ask what happened? If you're fine with, like, talking about that to a random hall person."
She couldn't begin to guess if it was super-traumatic or not-a-big-deal, but either way, she's starting to sound a lot more curious than cautious.
