Dude. OP here, and let me tell you just how ridiculously spoiled I feel when not only do I immediately get a fill, it's literally everything I could have wanted. The cute little horrible snakemouth Quay deer! I absolutely love the building creepiness running up against Prompto just going "Stop that." Comic timing's not an easy thing to pull off in text. Also love Noctis being all "well I'm never sleeping again," and Prompto reasoning with the imp, and Ignis not being real thrilled about the comparison, and Noct taking video, and Prompto pulling it off without a hitch but then being freaked out because why did that work. But it makes sense, really, because you keep it all centered on Prompto's compassion. And hey, he's always trying to keep people's mood up, even when he's anxious at heart, so he's got some practice.

I also love "Quay deer" as a shorthand, because I am an absolute sucker for characters having bits of their own language between each other, especially because these guys would totally do that.

And Ardyn! Oh my god, Ardyn's perfect. I love his subdued and yet very telling reactions, and his winky selfie, and the literalist red giant, and the handshake mindflayer, and contrarian Noct suddenly being real into camping. I cracked up at the idea of the Astrals being used for advertising, and that developing into Kenny Crow. The image of Prompto getting his face into just the right angle for the shot is wonderful. And Prompto's notion of what a nice guy Ardyn is being justified! (Sort of.) Seriously man, I am loving this.
