[ Prompto had all but jumped at the opportunity to take up a task that involved protecting the deserters. After vising their camps several time and learning just how devastated they were - and over something so pointless, too - he'd been constantly looking for opportunities to lend a helping hand. But there's only so much extra food he can afford to buy, and it doesn't go far. Protecting people is more in his wheelhouse, anyway. After months spent fighting alongside the prince, it's a role strangely familiar to him, and as he picks up the red crystal that Voss had lent to him, he can't help but reflect on just how similar this is to a quest they might've taken on back home.
So he's as upbeat as ever, even as he paces frenetically in front of the group he and Akira have been assigned to escort. There's eight people in all, including men, women, and children, none of whom appear combat-ready. That means it's up to them to see them safely through to the temple. Aside from his guns, hidden away until he needs to call them into his hand, he has a rapier and focus strapped at his side. He's still not very good with them, but hey...better to have more weapons at his disposal, right?
So long as he doesn't literally fall on his own sword, anyway. ]
Ooookay, so...are we gonna make a plan for this, or should we just wing it?
[ All while glancing between his crystal and the marker some distance away on the ground. Altruistic efforts aside, he so can't wait to try this out. ]
