Noctis snorts a little bit at the reminder of his rank. Sure, he is technically a king now; but he's a king with no throne, and no way to get it back yet. If there is a king and knights here, too, he's not sure pulling his own rank will get him anywhere.
But that's only a brief series of thoughts, as Cor says it'd been a while, and that the days were growing shorter. Noctis nods, once, before he looks over at the coeurl. Carbuncle, meanwhile, props itself back on its hind legs to meet the sniff, booping its nose against the felines.
"... I mean, I can tell you this one isn't the Messenger," Noctis says at length, after a moment. He knows Shiva's messenger, and this isn't it. "But he's still a Carbuncle, so yeah, don't bite him, kitty." Kitty. Of course Noctis would call a coeurl that.
As for the matter at hand, he looks back to Cor. "Yeah, the nights were growing longer because the starscourge is growing stronger. I - made it to the crystal, in Zegnatus Keep - in Nifelheim. It pulled me in and I spoke to the Draconian, then I ended up here." Noctis' expression is a bit pinched, if only because he remembers the truth of the prophecy.
"But, Cor. When they brought us here, it took away my magic - all of it." He raises his hand, where the ring is still on his finger, but no longer has the glow of the Lucii contained within. "No armiger, no flasks, nothing."
