Liz did not know much about fishing but she smiled as she listened to the banter between Prompto and Noctis, “Fishing certainly sounds quite different from camping,"she said, " it must be nice being out on the water,” she told him.

"We're trying to get dinner for a cat we found," Prompto reported proudly, feeling pretty confident that Liz would approve of such valiant motives. "I'll definitely send you pictures, but only of you promise not to tell Rain. I don't want her to get jealous.

"And yeah." Another sigh, this one happy and contented, almost as he looked around at the beauty of the place again. "The rest of Leide is so dry and dusty that this is a nice change of pace. Even if the monsters on this side of the mountains are huuuuuge! You should have seen this bird we found earlier, that thing was like half bird, half storm, half airship! And these crabs by the Haven, like, even Sidon would have been dwarfed by those guys!"

“Oh wow,” Liz tried to imagine the idea of someone being taller than Sidon, “I wouldn’t have thought it was possible for someone to be taller than Sidon,” she admitted, “but I would love to see the photos of the cat, I promise I won’t show Rain,” she assured him.

"It's nuts out here," Prompto shook his head a little. "People really aren't kidding when they say it's like a different world outside the city. Thankfully, though, we'vr been able to avoid any daemons. They won't go near the Havens."

But they were still close enough to hear, prowling around out there in the darkness, and honestly, if it weren't for the fact that they were all together, Prompto probably wouldn't have even been able to sleep through that first night at all because of it.

“And I’m very glad you’ve been able to stay safe,” Liz told him, “at least you don’t have too much longer left of the journey,” and she’d be able to see him again as well.

"Tomorrow," Prompto said, in a big, long, wistful sigh, and he turned around and started walking down the pier for a little more privacy. He could practically hear them giving him a hard time about it already. "We'll finally get there tomorrow, we'll get good and settled in, and then I'll get everything arranged with portalocity, and you'll be there, and it. Will. Be. Perfect."

It was too bad he couldn't just...portal her here through the phone or something. They could sit on the beach, watch the sunset over the ocean...

Aaaaand there was another wistful sigh. With probably many more to still come.

“I’m looking forward to being there with you,” she told him, “I miss you, I haven’t liked being apart for so long,” it had been a very long week of waiting but it would be worth it when she could finally visit.

Prompto grinned, glad he'd slipped off toward the beach by himself so that the guy couldn't see the dopey look on his face; he ducked his head a little and kicked a little sand with his boot before looking out over the water. "It really hasn't even been that long," he realized. "It's just felt like ages though. Longest. Week. Ever."

And to think, this was going to wind up being the easy part of his week, too!

“I cannot believe it was only last weekend I was in Insomnia with you,” Liz said, “it feels like so much time has passed by,”

You just had to say that didn’t you Liz.

"I guess," Prompto said with a soft laugh and words that would probably come to haunt him in the next decade, "time can just be funny like that, huh?"

[flamesburned]

“It definitely can,” Liz said with a small smile, “but it shouldn’t be that much longer now til we can see each other right?” she said hopefully.
