"Just remember, there might not always be a 'later', Gladiolus." There hadn't been for Regis and Clarus.
For a few moments more Clarus stood and stoically watched the scene before him. Prompto was genuinely upset, had been genuinely upset. Torture and attempted self-mutilation had scarred him, obviously, but that didn't mean there hadn't been malicious plans in the works for the boy even if he weren't consciously involved.
Still, whatever he'd found out about his own origins beyond what Clarus saw, he'd have to find out later. For now, he turned and exited the room, then the house. The chocobos needed tending to anyhow.
