Noctis gives his father a teasing grin - clearly enjoying being the one to tell his father that, instead of the other way around. He wouldn't blame his dad for leaving the politicking to him, here. Ignis would certainly be proud to see Noctis make use of his court skills yet again.
He moves to sit next to his father, eyeing the spread of food. When his father asks who else he's run into, he falls silent for a moment. He's yet to run into Cor or Ignis yet, but two other very important people he has.
"Yeah, I ran into Prompto at the caravans," he says, and then turns to look at his dad. He realizes that his father won't know what a big deal this is, which means dragging the painful knowledge back out for all to see.
"I ran into Lunafreya, too," he says softly, and one of his hands curls up, to hide the slight shake of his fingers. "Which... she died in Altissia. Protecting me." Like you did. "But she's here, like you are."
