[The notification from ward is jarring, and for a second there's just β dread and a little terror before he opens it, almost certain the two of them have talked, certain this is going to be a definitive message ending their friendship forever.
[ The picture is... weird. Gross, but kind of cute in an ugly way, something he might admit to if it were a one on one message. But then he sees Cain's username, and "dread" isn't exactly an accurate descriptor for how he's feeling. ]
[ Finally, finally, Noctis responds. There's no indicator as to how he feels, why he's taken so long, or what his intent had been in following the thread so wordlessly, something he's never done.
But even he can only watch something like this for so long. ]
( Jonas is stupid, but he isn't stupid. Sensitive to how others are feeling after a lifetime spent interpreting, adapting, and camouflaging, he knows they're tense.
With whom, though, has yet to be determined.
Is it... with him? )
I can talk about the others now actually Or like whenever I want to talk about them
With Noctisβs belated arrival and the following message from Jonas, it becomes clear to him they havenβt talked. He doesnβt understand why. So this time, itβs his turn in the fear of indecision.
Then talk about it, I'm not stopping you. I'm free later for the rest, or if you wanna talk one on one
[ A line in the sand, such as it is. He doesn't want to interact with Cain, and realizing in tandem that he also hasn't talked to Jonas, he'll be the first to state it more clearly. ]

And what's Noctis' deal? He thought he'd at least have something stupid to say about it. Instead, he's just left him on read? )
