The Apartment above the Photo Hut; Tuesday Morning [04/04].

[hashtag_chocobro]

One of the nice things about being a puppy, really, had been the dreams. As a puppy, curled up somewhere between the foot of the bed and against Liz's side, Prompto twitched a little as he slept, deeply entrenched in a nice dream about herding chocobos. Nice, simple, happy kinds of dreams which were a strong departure from the ones he usually had, so much so that, even though he was asleep, he could tell when he'd changed back, because those dreams took a sudden, dramatic turn toward the dark that had him gasping awake, still curled up as he had been, and, of course, entirely naked.

It took him a moment, to orient himself, to register all the altered states of his being, from asleep to awake, from dream to reality, from dog to human again, to place where he was and the details of the circumstances. He couldn't help a faint grin over the fact that this transformation was likely to go much better than the last time this had happened, looking over at Liz still sleeping there and feeling pretty confident that this wasn't going to make things extremely awkward between them.

(He hoped!)

But he figured his chances on that were pretty good, and so he shifted a little, a hand gently on Liz's arm to avoid startling her too much as he started to snuggle up a little closer and whispered, "Hey, Liz. You up?"

[[ and so it begiiiiins~ for the wifey, of course! ]]

Liz smiled as she heard Prompto in the nursery with Noctra as she waited, just in case he needed help and then she grinned when Prompto’s voice came through loud and clear on the baby monitor.

She couldn’t help but giggle as she heard Prompto’s voice come through because she had definitely missed all these interactions in the last week, she picked up the baby monitor and spoke it into it, “er …Roger, received loud and clear Papa Prompto, Mama Liz wants a full and detailed report when you return, over,” and then that was followed by a burst of giggles because that had also not changed during Prompto's stint as a puppy.

"Mmmm, negative, Mama Liz," came Prompto's response with a burst of implied static. "cannot confirm. Report will not be detailed, because the less said about diaper detail, the better. Over."

Followed by a much quieter, clearly intended to be to himself but forgetting that the monitor was not in fact a walkie-talkie and would pick up on it regardless, "How? How is it even possible? What has she been feeding you this week? Is your power actually managing to defy physics, Noctra, damn."

[flamesburned]

Liz winced a bit at that and was feeling guilty that Prompto was the one dealing with the diaper change at the moment.

“Er - Roger, understood that report will not be so detailed” and then there was a pause and she added sheepishly, because yes she did hear that last part and then added normally, “well I can safely say there was no unusual changes to her feeding, even though I did eat some of the meals that Ignis prepped for us the week before,” she admitted.

She really would have to thank Ignis for those, they had been a life saver over the past week.

"So blame Ignis," Prompto noted with a grin, though he still shook his head as he took to the necessary clean-up tasks, shaking his head just a little at how this morning so far had definitely already been a pretty dramatically different swinging series of events. Pup to pets to poop, all in one fell swoop. "Got it. But boy, those meals really came in clutch last week for you, didn't they? Talk about good timing!"

[flamesburned]

"It was really good timing," Liz agreed, "there's still some meals left if you want them, I didn't eat all of them but it was nice to not have to cook during the week, I don't think I would have had the energy to otherwise," she admitted, "I'll have to thank him next time I see him," she added.

"Have you talked to him at all last week?" Prompto wondered, between making faces at Noctra, who was honestly more interested in just blowing spit bubbles at the moment than anything he was doing, which worked out just fine for him right now, all things considered. "I wonder if he'd been dealing with Gladio as a plant again; that definitely happened the last time I turned into a puppy, although the first time he turned into a plant, I turned into a blue bard, I think."

[flamesburned]

"I haven't had a change to talk to him," Liz admitted, "I did listen to radio though, I think this morning's report did mention that Ignis was looking after a pot plant, I'm assuming that was Gladio since it got mentioned that you were a puppy as well,"

[hashtag_chocobro]

"Maaaaan," Prompto had to chuckle, shaking his head and taking a small break to squeeze a few little toes that were kicking the air in front of him, "can you imagine, just being a plant? Iggy's got it easy, all he had to really do is remember to water him, probably.

"...this is nice," he added, after a moment, grinning toward the monitor and just assuming Liz could hear it in his voice. "I missed being able to talk to you in actual words and phrases and sentences."

[flamesburned]

"I don't know what's involved with looking after a plant beyond watering it but I imagine that Ignis did a good job looking after Gladio," Liz did smile at that, "and I've missed this as well, I'd almost forgotten what it was like to be able to talk to someone who can talk back to me, you did try as a puppy but it was a lot more one sided," she admitted.

[hashtag_chocobro]

Prompto chuckled. "I think I did pretty good, though!" he insisted. "All things considered! I mean, no offense to Noctra or Rain, but I like to think puppy me managed to blow them out of the park, as far as conversation went! I will be willing to concede to them a good fight as far as snuggles go, though."

[flamesburned]

Liz did laugh gently at that, "well you were the closest I got to a normal conversation, ," she considered, "Noctra's trying but she still has quite a bit to go there and Rain well ... Rain is Rain," she said, "I don't think she liked having snuggles competition this week though," she added.

"I'll have to make it up to her, then, too," Prompto decided, "especially since she so cruelly has had so much undivided attention so criminally stolen from her by an adorable attention monster."

Considering where his morning had been going until just a little bit ago, he could definitely relate to the feeling! But he had to admit, it was pretty impossible to be too mad about it.
