Lestallum is quite busy during the day, you and I got lucky with the night crowd. [ He hadn't forgotten being shoulder to shoulder with people and while it's more or less cleared out after Noct's death, it's still quite the busy place to be. ] It shouldn't be too much longer, Noct.
[ Ignis knows that Noct needs his rest, but he was starting to worry about how long this was taking him and hadn't wanted Noctis to worry about him. ]
I'll see you soon, Noct.
[ Once the food is picked up, Ignis starts with making his way back the car, putting the ingredients that he picked up into a cooler. His little cat friend had followed him, he gives it a look of amusement as he starts for the store nearby. He's fine on Ebony, but he decides to pick up a few sodas for Noct himself.
Outside the hotel, he kneels down to give the cat a last pet before he stands up and heads up to the hotel room. Carefully juggling their food and Noct's soda, he opens the door and lets it shut behind him, locking it. ]
Noct? [ Noct sounded tired on the phone so he's wondering if he's awake. ]
[He is in fact super asleep, curled up on his good side. The phone has been pulled off the bedside table and is actually set on the mattress beside him, so the ring would more easily wake him after he drifted off.
He's dead to the world enough that Ignis' arrival and soft call doesn't rouse him yet.]
[ Seeing that he's asleep and safe, not well just yet, gets him to move to the table and start setting up the food. Ignis isn't going to wake Noct up, knowing that he needs his rest.
Once everything is set up at the table, he quietly crawls into bed next to Noctis, carefully wrapping his arms around him, trying not to wake him up. He's more than content to wait on Noct to wake up on his own. ]
[Noctis doesn't so much as stir for any of it, remaining still and sleeping for a little bit afterwards, until the scent of food and the warmth of a body against his pokes at his awareness enough that he shifts a bit, one hand reaching up to tug at Ignis' hand.]
[ Ignis falls into a light sleep, aware of his surroundings, drifting in and out. The touch on his hand gets him to wake up fully and lets out a soft hm in response. ]
I'm here. [ He gently takes Noctis' hand in his. ] How are you feeling?
[He shifts a little so he can lean on Ignis, indulging in that warmth for a bit until they have to get up, which is inevitable. There's a distant scent of food in the air, and he's very cozy; the pain from earlier has dulled after a few hours of extra rest.]
[He uses Ignis' support to push himself upright, turning so his legs hang off the side of the bed. He moves forward enough to test if he can sit upright on his own weight, and sure enough, he's able to find his balance.]
[ After Ignis helps Noctis sit up, he slides off the bed himself. ]
You are healing faster than the average human would, [ he comments back quietly as he goes to the table to pick up the food first, bringing the bag on over to the bed. ] and I hope you don't mind lunch in bed.
[ He sets the bag down by Noctis on the bed; the discovery in there is meat on sticks. Ignis walks off to grab a soda and a can of Ebony, frowning a little at the mess he'd made in his haste to get to Noct's side earlier. He'll have to do something about that later, but for now, he rejoins Noctis on the bed. He sets their drinks on the nightstands by them. ]
Yeah... it's weird, but I'll take it if it keeps me alive.
[He can't seem to heal himself, but this is a reasonably close second-best. TO make room for Ignis, Noctis scoots himself sideways a bit awkwardly, but manages to do it without falling over, so that's a victory he'll claim for himself. He checks the bag and makes a delighted noise at what he finds. Even though it's cooled down since Ignis bought it, it still smells amazing, and he doesn't hesitate in taking a bite. He's still favouring his shot shoulder, so he nudges the bag towards Ignis with his elbow instead of passing it directly.]
Food stand? I remember seeing one by the road when we got here the first time. It smelled amazing then, too.

...Was that a cat?
[He almost sounds jealous.]

No big deal, take your time. I'm just here... sleeping. [Close enough. He's trying, okay.]

Indeed, [ Though he's torn what to do here, he's comfortable now, but they need to eat. He gets an idea instead. ] Are you able to sit up?
