We still have continents and countries and it's still not gonna hurt you to know about another planet. Besides you literally just asked me 2 questions and I answered them
[ The question catches him off-guard. Especially when Cain just displayed next to no interest in Earth's geography, but is now going out of his way to understand his.
Cute....... ]
From listening to Jonas and everyone else nowhere near as many as Earth's got lol
Four main ones even if Niflheim wants to change that. Them, Accordo, Tenebrae, and you already know Lucis. There's a lot more territories and some of the island regions keep trying to declare sovereignty, but they're not gonna keep it up now [ Not during war, when to do so would just make them a tastier target. ]
Lol. "Stupid" is a word I'd use for you or Jonas. They're smth else
[ But this isn't the time for that kind of conversation, and he's careful not to linger. If he does, it's too easy for him to get sucked into it. ]
How about smth even better? I've got a real map I can show you when we meet up next. Then you can get your Lucian lecture from the best possible source
[Unseen, Cain smirks a little when he reads about what Noctis was like as a kid. Sounds a little too familiar, not that anyone was keeping track of him the same way they were a royal-born son.]
then i guess i'm honored, your majesty
no kings sometimes politicians, but they don't like the long cramped trip most important guy i ever met was a military commander, that's about as high as you can get in my neck of the woods
[Excuse me? Noctis going out of his way to record a message of that, a remembered word in Russian — he'd be lying if it didn't make him feel some kind of way.
Noctis doesn't even acknowledge doing it, which only fucks with him more.
Privately, he finds himself re-listening a couple of times before he's able to move on.]
[ There's a sudden tonal shift at the third mention of his reign in a row, normally able to clamp down hard on that emotion but his guard has been low with Cain lately. In most ways that's been a hard-earned privilege, but right now he's regretting it. ]
It's not exciting to you bc it's what you knew and what you're used to. On Eos people haven't even left the star yet, so obv other planets are out of the picture
Going somewhere where people are used to it and made a new life sounds pretty cool
[He's not totally oblivious. He senses the change, though it's harder to interpret through static messages.]
all right, all right you got me yeah, us colonists are pretty fucking cool. made a whole life on a cold rock in the void. we like to have fun and we know how to do it.
didn't think you'd be out traveling the universe, huh?
So the colonists are worth knowing but the rock isn't? Idk I'm pretty sure your version of fun would land me in hot water. I'll stick to forcing you to be a tour guide
[ Daydreaming is harmless. It isn't like, as Cain rightly said before, they'll have a high chance of ending up on Mars or Eos in the course of their travels. But what if they did? ]
I had a full plate back home so no, never in a million years. At least now I have my phone back so I can take pics to make the guys back there believe me
You're really stuck on the royalty thing today huh
Fine. Two in one answer: they made me practice my magic and train. And if you wanna know smth I haven't even told Jonas yet, one part of my magic is storing stuff and retrieving it
When I got back my magic I got back what I stored. Potions, clothes, phones. Made things easier
oh, that kinda makes sense now i was trying to figure out where the hell you put those potions 'cause they're in glass bottles dunno how you'd keep em from breaking on their own
is that all you got? what else can you store? sounds pretty useful
"Noctis that's pretty cool, you're really talented" yeah ik
This is impressive stuff I'm saying ftr
[ Be more in awe of my abilities. ]
Anyway...... if there's a limit idk what it is. Things smaller than me ig, but I've stored stuff that was heavier. Food, fish, weapons, notes, money, w/e I need. It all came with me

If I quiz you later are you gonna remember?
no subject
even the name sounds stupid
[See, he pays attention.]
draw me a map first so i can study, nerd
but the only one i really wanna know about is lucis

That's a pretty rare honor yk
no subject
man that's crazy
that you're royal
[Look... he's been thinking about it, he didn't just process it in one go.]
there's no way anyone important would ever let me anywhere near someone like you
probably kept you locked up nice, huh
no subject
Anyway you're wrong. I'm important and I let you near me. Feels like I'm old enough to make that call for myself
Which is my way of saying yeah ig. When I was a kid they tried. I was pretty good at giving people the slip tho [ read: I was a terror ]
Are there kings on Mars?

"Sure, it's volshebnyy again."
And then he carries on, as if nothing has happened. ]
Princes get "your highness", yk. Your majesty's for kings only, hth
Tbh the more I hear about Mars the weirder it sounds. I still wanna see it even if you're a really bad spokesperson

but fine
your royal highness
Ваше высочество
ha
why would you want to see it at all? weirdo
no subject
[ hahaha someone else please do it ]
That better be "highness" in Russian and not you trying to insult me again
Why do you wanna hear about Lucis?
no subject
are you serious?
lucis sounds a thousand times more interesting
[Don't make him say it.]
'sides, don't you want to brag about the place you're supposed to rule?
no subject
Lucis is my home and there's a lot of history there. Ofc I'm proud of it
So how's it weird that I wanna see yours too?
no subject
since you're supposed to rule there, right?
the colonies aren't that exciting
i mean it
but if you really wanna know more, then i'll tell you whatever

I'll have to snap one of you and Jonas next time

what... how'd you even get it?
i didn't know that was possible
what kind of princely things did they make you do, anyway?
