I think it'd be impossible for you to ever be in the way. You're always helping people - what's to complain about?
[He might be talking about more than just this place. Still, he listens to her just get her feelings out. He knows it must have been hard for her too: to be separated, to be only able to do so much with what time she had, and desperately wishing they could go back to when they had been children who could laugh and play together. Her apologizing to him was almost the icing on the cake. It was funny how the two of them couldn't help but blame themselves when everything about their situation made them both victims of circumstance.]
Luna, you- [Her leaning up to kiss his cheek surprised him, but his hands move instinctively to her sides to steady her. He wanted to reciprocate and worried still he might be pushing his luck. She had wanted the engagement too, hadn't she? ]
It was a surprise. All of it just happened so fast, but... Luna, I didn't just agree because of some peace treaty. I agreed because it was you.
[Pushing down his embarrassment, he wraps one arm loosely around her waist. He wanted to explain himself properly and also make some attempt at being comfortable and confident enough to show her physically that he wasn't put off by their engagement.]
I meant what I said at that time, you know. All I wanted to do was to save you. I wanted to get you away from the Empire, no matter what it took, but I wasn't strong enough to do that. Neither of us needs to apologize for anything here, though. Things might be a mess, but being able to see you again and know that maybe I get a chance to actually follow through - that makes me happy.
[And, almost as if realizing he's making quite the public display of himself, he lowers his arm back to his side and avoids direct eye contact.]
We've got time now. We can catch up, right?
[Awkwardly, he runs his fingers through his hair at the back of his head, ruffling it slightly.]
Maybe you can show me around... we could sit and get something to eat. Just hang out or something.
Noctis is so awkward Luna how do you put up with him xD
