[ Given how their last conversation had gone -- and Damian's general personality added to what he's been through -- Noctis doesn't expect anything warmer. ]
Use Noctis, Sky's a fake name
[ And a pointless one, now. ]
I heard about what happened from Matches, wanted to make you were okay and didn't need anything.

[ Lucis Caelum is too loNG. ]
You've probably got a lot of people asking you that, huh.
I'm not trying to add to the people bugging you, just if you change your mind and want me to pick up any food or anything lmk, idk if they have you on bed rest or w/e

[ That's the way to live.
Noctis is true to his word, navigating his way to the address some forty-six minutes later, and it's with two boxes of food stacked in one hand and two beverage cans held carefully in the other that he decides against bothering to knock. ]
Hey, I'm here if you wanna open up.
[ Honestly? He's a little curious; he hasn't been here before. ]

[ No one has, he doesn't invite people to his place. Usually. Doesn't like them knowing where he lives. But he did just die and people were messed up about it, and he can probably move if need be.
He hops up to let him in.
It's a fairly large space. The furniture is classy and modern, though maybe not the newest. Not much in the way of decorations yet. ]
Come in.

Thanks-- [ As he steps in, already looking around. ]
Ahh, your place looks better than ours... That sucks. Anyway, take this top one; they're both the same. Vermi-- They're noodles. [ He realized very quickly that he does not know how to say vermicelli. ]
There's some bread too, and the drinks are supposed to be some kind of flavored water or something.

[ "Why do you always have to make everything such a big thing" is on the tip of his tongue, but... well, he doesn't believe that Damian is genuinely fine with going through the whole process that he did, so he eases up. ]
I'm not here to baby you. [ He considers the couch before taking a seat on the opposite end, leaning over already to rest elbows on his knees. ] I'd say it normally... I hole up a lot and wanna' avoid people, so if you get like that too then take it. It's whatever.

[ Well, no point in arguing with those solid two words (that are bullshit in his mind, but he can bide his time here). He takes his box, already inspecting the bread he'd mentioned before. ]
Reports coming back are better than I thought they'd be. We saved a lot of people.

[ Oh, yes. This he can talk about. ]
The mobilization was surprisingly efficient. M's people could have picked more strategic places to live in the event of a meltdown like this, but... it is what it is.
[ He takes a bite. Thinks a little miserably about all the parents he couldn't save, the kids who will struggle without them now. ]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Considering where the weak points were... we got out of it well.
... I've been dealing with the kids a lot, took a break to come here. Doesn't really help with that part of it, but it's important to keep our heads above water, I guess.
