If there's something that Noctis never doubted, it is his father's love for him. But, at times, he's still been bitter at how his duties had to come before him from time to time. Meetings that took place ahead of spending time with Noctis, which lead to Noctis acting out without the words to articulate why.

At least he wasn't Gladio. Gladio threw fists as a child when he was upset... and bit people.

"As long as he doesn't try to bite me," Noctis says of the bird, grumping to himself about it. When his father calls it a worthwhile endeavor, though, he straightens up a bit under the pat to his shoulder.

"I think it'll be helpful for people who are new. Not everyone was trained like we were," he says.
