[ The terrible truth of it is that he actually considers not going back. His short trip away from her watchful care over his emotional state leaves him bereft, cold, the night air nowhere near as refreshing and kind as it should be. If he goes back, he knows what will happen. She'll take care of him, sooth him, speak words so tender that they'll all but unmake him, and it would be so wonderful. But he -
He doesn't deserve it, and especially not now, when she's the one who is ill and should be recovering. She'd be frustrated with him for not going back, but if that meant she'd go to sleep and rest instead of having to patch him up once again, she'd be...better off, right?
But there's a stubborn voice in the back of his mind - it sounds quite a bit like Noctis and Alisaie both - that keeps his feet moving once he's entered his empty apartment and picks up Peo. The dog is overjoyed to see him, and Prompto him, and he grabs a bowl of dog food before -
Before he heads back.
He doesn't knock at the door this time, slipping back in noiselessly, second-guessing himself every step he takes back to Alisaie's room.
She'll hear Peo approaching first, as he seems to know exactly where to go without having ever been here before. He tears into the room, tail wagging madly as he hops up onto Alisaie's bed to greet her.
Prompto appears a moment later, once again hovering in the doorway, uncertain of whether or not she's change her mind about asking him to come back as he stoops to set down Peo's bowl. ]
