[ prompto tucks closer, so near that she can feel the warm gusting of his breath, and there's nothing she wants more in this moment than to kiss him, to soothe him, but the lingering, relentless taste of blood in her mouth is reminder enough that she must not.
soon, she hopes..
instead of kisses, she winds her arms around his shoulders and bumps her nose affectionately to his, the fingers of one hand threading through his hair, scratching at his scalp how she knows he likes. softly: ]
I am very glad that you did.
[ it would have been so easy for him to give up, she knows. facing who you are, and the demons of your past - gods, it's difficult, painful, can feel impossible. stronger men and women than she have buckled before the truths of their own hearts, and prompto could have just as easily done the same. for all she stresses that how he was born does not matter (and it doesn't) that does not negate the fact that it was truly horrific. she has seen the results of research like this before, known men too obsessed with what could be done that they could not bother to wonder if they should.
still, it brought prompto into the world, and for that at least she is grateful. ]
