"I'm gonna try my hardest to prove my worth. To all of you. I don't know what I can bring to the team, really. I mean I definitely don't have the Big Guy's strength. But there has to be something I can be useful for." He would prove himself to Noct and the others or die trying. He didn't want to think too hard on the dying part though, since it was a pretty high probability.
Prompto almost felt like he was intruding on a private moment between Noctis and Regis, so he averted his gaze to the floor. Yep. Totally lots of interesting things to see there.
He only lifted his head once Noct summoned the feather into his hand. The whisps of blue were just as mesmerising to Prompto now as they had been when Noct pulled out a potion for him or when he warped. His fingers itched to capture it on camera.
"The signing? Oh..." He knew the question was bound to come up eventually. He rubbed at the back of his neck nervously. "Well. It's kind of blurry but I'll try my best. So, right. After I sent the note I was all kinds of anxious and nervous. And all the next day until the signing I still felt kinda sick. You know that feeling you get deep in the pit of your stomach when something isn't right? But I didn't know what else to do. So, we all go to the signing room. I still feel sick. But everything seems kinda okay."
Just talking about it made Prompto feel nauseous all over again. "There were a few whispers and mutterings on both sides. People whispering stuff to the Emperor. People whispering stuff to the King. And then it was like BOOM. Everyone went crazy and drew their weapons at each other. I didn't even think. I just got up from my seat and put myself in front of the King." With his gun on the Emperor.
"I tried to make everyone stop, but no one listened to a nobody like me and then it just went crazy. There was fighting everywhere. It was like being inside a kaleidoscope but instead of pretty colours it was fighting." Prompto's hand dropped to his knee, which was bouncing with nervous energy.
"It was hard to keep track of who was in the room. But I think the Emperor and my Dad were ushered out. No doubt they had their escape planned from the start. The Chancellor too. I lost sight of Ravus. But there was this guy with the King. A big guy, bald, with kind eyes. It was him who bought us time to escape. But the King had already been wounded. We got as far as the corridor you found us in before he collapsed. I managed to drag him to the end so there was only one direction we could be attacked from instead of being in the open."
His brow furrowed. "The big guy who saved us... he was stabbed by General Glauca. He um... he's the military supreme commander and magitek infantry leader of Niflheim. He's the one who injured the King too. And then you guys showed up and you know the rest."
