A. (Black Mage Guild, Kiddilion) [Noctis is suddenly glad that a certain three people refuse to let him out of their sights.
He glances around as they head for the guild, attempting to blend in with the crowd as they go. Though with how his normal walk is one that makes his royal blood obvious, it's fortunate that he stays more in the center of the group. Because he can see the looks he's getting from some of the less than savory characters, and it makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up knowing that he'd be powerless to do anything to dissuade them from attacking.
That is, until they reach their destination. He doesn't even need to see the demonstration to know this is an asterisk for him. He signs up without a second thought, smirking with confidence when he sees the familiar flick of fire in his free hand.
What he can't get over, however, is that it's not a rod or staff that he finds himself able to channel his magic through, but...]
What do you mean, "try a doll"? [The hell is this guy suggesting it for?]
B. "I Miss Warpstrikes" Part I: Parkour Hardcore (Ninja Guild, Tark Varentain) [Okay. So he may or may not have been taken in by just how cool it was to watch those at the guild walk on the ceiling. He can't help it. It's so much like what he's used to, sans the warping. He can't help but be excited (in his own, muted way), to try out his new asterisk.
Thankfully, this time, with less embarrassing weapon choices.
Yet he still stops in the street when he notices a little girl, likely a local, drop her doll in a rush to get home as sunset neared.]
Ah- hey! [Thank the gods for the natural speed boost, as he rushes from the group to pick it up and try and catch up. Yet the girl seems terrified, and really, he can't blame her. Though when he does catch up, he kneels down to her level, holding out the small doll to her.] You dropped this.
[He holds it out to her, smiling faintly in an effort to be reassuring. The little girl hesitates briefly, before taking it from his hand and running away. Only stopping once she realises something: "T-thank you!"
He can't help but chuckle, waving as she runs home. ...Wait where'd the others go? Crap.]
C. What'd I Miss? (Gourmand Guild, Hisan City) [Warnings schmarnings, it'll be fiiine. He thought, before the first part of the demonstration puts him to sleep. Only waking up once the rest have either cleared out to run to the bathroom, or have been herded towards the councelors who were waiting in the wings.
Noctis just blinks as the crowd is suddenly that much smaller. Huh.]
What- happened?
[Please no one tell him the horrors he just missed witnessing.]
D. Oh. Em. Gee. (Cavalier Guild, Nakagawa) [Sadly, he can't really pick up this asteriswk yet - Astrals, does he want to though - but in the meantime, while he waits for his bestie to get his own? He's completely enamored by the chocobo stables. Unable to stop himself from petting one of the majestic birds after offering them a gyshal green leaf.]
Hah... There you go.
[He grins, petting them again along the back of their neck. ... Maybe someday he'll pick this one up, but...he can get by for now.]
