Well, if Prompto was going to be on the island to substitute for a class (so weird!), then it would be ridiculous of him to not take advantage of that fact to ~~pester~~ hang out with his little sister for a bit. The only problem was that he found out that his little sister just so happened to be in the middle of a very complicated spell that had her a little preoccupied. But Prompto wasn't going to let something like that stop him.

Even if he got one look at all the chalk covering Summer's apartment and immediately fixed Nina with a look of disapproval.

"You're taking a break," he announced. "I'm going to be back in five minutes with some food, and you're going to take a break and rest, and then I'm going to help you with some of this."

And sure, he said that, but after that break and they had full stomaches, there was a cat and Prompto was...maybe a little distracted.

"~Pancakes, Pancakes~," he sang, as he pet and snuggled and danced the poor cat's limbs around, "~Oh, if only you could talk! Bet you'd saa~ay, it's a miracle I'm not covered in chalk!~"

He thought it was pretty good for having just made it up on the spot. With a muffled little merow, though, it seemed Pancakes was less impressed.

"Honestly, though," he added, dropping the song for another look around from where he was sitting on a yet-to-be-chalked spot on the floor, "this is so much work, Nina..."

[[ apartment, cat, and sister all modded with permission! definitely open if anyone wants to swing by lol ]]

[[ edit: that Nina's working on something in the apartment is a-okay, but if the specifics could be NFB, that'd be baller ]]

Prompto and Pancakes both looked up from the knock at the door, where they were engaged in playing with a feather on a stick (man, but this cat had a stupid amount of toys), and he glanced over for a moment to where Nina was working and figured he'd take on door duty so she didn't need to be more interrupted than she already was by him even being there in the first place, tossed the toy for Pancakes to go chasing after it, then hopped up to his feet to answer it.

"Summer's not he--" he started, as he opened the door, which was an interesitng greeting if you thought about it, because it definitely opened up a lot of questions on what he was doing in her apartment when she wasn't even there, but then he saw who it was and the words halted right there. "Oh. Uh, hey, Liam. You're, uh, probably here for Nina, right?"

So he stepped back, opening the door and gesturing an invitation with his arm as if this was his own apartment or something.

Look, it's not like Summer didn't know, or something!

“Mmhm,” he nodded. “Though I brought enough to share,” he said, holding up the containers of fruit and cookies. “For all of us, I mean.” Lest Prompto think he wasn’t to be included here.

It's almost like Liam knew that Prompto would definitely think he wasn't to be included, or something! Which, you know, was generally his thing with about everything. He still seemed surprised when he got included in official Crownsguard stuff, soooooo....

Don't be surprised that he definitely already had an escape plan in mind even in those brief seconds that had passed.

"Well, I mean," he said, "I definitely wouldn't want to get in the way. I was thinking I might pop by the shelter real quick before I left for home, anyway, see how all the pups are doing. It'd be really good to see them all again..."

“Prompto,” Liam said firmly. “You’re not in the way.” Maybe if he repeated it enough times it would start to sink in?

Hahaha, oh, Liam. Adorable.

Red and freckles immediately splashed across Prompto's face and he laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. "I mean," he said, "if you're sure. I definitely don't mind just chilling with some puppers for a bit. I don't think I'd trust anyone who would mind that, actually."

“I’m sure,” Liam said. He’d brought the good cookies, Prompto!

Which, mindful of the way Nina had danced around his food issues (who didn’t have food issues, considering Liam himself was on a trauma-induced vegetarian diet), Liam wasn’t going to say that part, lest it seem like he was trying to bribe him with unhealthy stuff.

“I mean, you should definitely check in on the puppies, because puppies, but later.”

Prompto was definitely not above being bribed by unhealthy stuff.

Which was part of the problem, but...

The red and freckles stayed, but the crooked grin softened a little. "Later," he allowed, and then turned his attention to something else, that being the most obvious thing to bring his attention to, other than Pancakes having brought rolled over a little jingling ball against Prompto's boot and meowing up at him until he gave it a little kick so she could go running after it.

He was just glad she hadn't brought over one of her toy mice, because...would that be, like, super awkward? It was a question he was glad he didn't have to find the answer to yet, anyway.

"Can you believe all the work Nina's done on this place?" he asked. "You can hardly even see the apartment underneath all the chalk anymore!"

Honestly, like, he knew how it would all disappear when the spell was done, but it was almost more unbelievable that Summer was totally cool with letting this happen, if you asked him.

Well. Liam’s mice were vicious little things that hunted in packs, and it was entirely possible that one or more of them was lurking nearby, so yes. A toy mouse would have been... awkward.

“I’m looking forward to the finished project,” Liam agreed with a nod. “Even if I’m sure my head would explode if I tried to think too much about how this is all possible.”

"Yeaaaah," Prompto chuckled a little, grinning a little more and stopping himself as his hand now reached to rub his wrists a little. "Best not to think about it too much, really But, hey, you're gonna come, huh? That's really good, Iggy needs to meet more people, and this party sounds like a great way to do it. It sounds like all he does besides his class while he's here so far is sit in his office or cook..."

It was said with a snicker, though.

"Of course," Liam nodded. "He seems like a good guy, and maybe I can bug him for a few recipe ideas."

He wasn't quite at Ignis' level, but like... he'd kind of discovered how much he enjoyed cooking, especially when he could make other people happy through it.
