[ Damn! He really needs to keep better tabs on his middle names. He shoots Akira an apologetic, "my bad" kind-of look. He'll do better next time...
But his attention is quickly turned back to the identity of the mysterious "Arsene", who sounds like some kind of thug at this point, but whatever, as long as Akira trusts him, Prompto trusts him, too. (He may or may not be picturing him as some kind of hulking, Gladio-esque figure at this point, who could definitely get the job done if he were here.) ]

That way, they could make a mad dash for it if something went wrong.

Mister Surprise!!
[ He's really got to work on the names. Anyway, now that he has their attention, Prompto zips himself back again, but further away from where the group is hiding, to lure away the guards so they can slip by. ]
