The Apartment Above the Photo Hut - Tuesday Afternoon

[flamesburned]

It was getting later in the day and after she’d finished the chores she’d needed to do around the house and got Noctra settled for the afternoon, Liz couldn’t help but look at phone to see if Prompto had called or messaged and so far there was nothing.

Liz knew that Prompto had been out working on getting shots with his new camera lens and it wasn’t unusual that he would stay out late with work but he normally called beforehand that he wouldn’t be back til late.

She bit her lip and looked at the time and then her recent messages and there was still nothing.

"Mmm, well," Ignis frowned thoughtfully, "I'm sure we both can agree that, at times, Prompto's attention span can likely be bested by goldfish, so that, in addition to a dead phone, could be a recipe for losing track of time until he runs out of light or runs out of photos, whichever might come first.

"I can certainly do another loop around the island before I head to Nell's," hdle offered, "though as far as search parties go, I may not be the most effective choice."

Liz knew there was likely a logical explanation for why Prompto hadn’t made contact and his phone running out of battery or filling up his camera but she also couldn’t help but remember what happened last time when Prompto had been gone for days, even though at least this time Ignis remembered Prompto so she was hopeful this wasn’t going to be anything like last time.

“If I don’t hear from him before dinner, I could take Noctra out for a walk as well and have a look around, and hopefully be able to find him?” Liz considered as she tried to work out what would be the best options as well as being mindful of Noctra’s schedule as well.

That last time had certainly crossed Ignis' mind as well, because the last thing they needed to deal with right now was the possibility that Ardyn Izunia was somehow involved in this sudden disappearance. Just thinking about it now, Ignis felt a chill race up his spine that he tried his best to hold back, but his compulsively shivered, just slightly, and tried not to think of the implications of such a thing.

"It certainly wouldn't hurt," he said, "and, moving forward, if this does end up being something more than just carelessness on his part, do let me know if I can help. If you need me to take care of her so you can search unfettered. Hopefully, though, you will, indeed, find him, and, subsequently, I hope, give him a good earful about it, too."

"I will," Liz said quietly, trying to keep the worry out of her voice and that she would be able to find Prompto, "thank you, hopefully its just a case of not having any phone battery,"

She knew they did not have a good track record with this and she desperately hoped he was still on the island and then she relaxed a bit at the last part and managed a small smile, "I'll do my best to give him a good earful," she wasn't sure how effective she was going to be, she would just be grateful that she found Prompto and he'd be back but she'd at least try.
