[ Ferry fiasco aside, settling in around here hasn't been all that difficult for Nyx. It's a little disheartening to see who else is here with him from Eos but there's no point in dwelling on that when in the company of others, let alone making anyone feel bad for being here in the first place. Just really sucks that it's not just him, the others not really deserving this sort of (after)life.
With the importance of these lanterns around here and the flame flickering within them, Nyx has taken it upon himself to find a way to fasten the thing to his back. Doesn't leave much in the way of light for the front, no. But when he needs to get somewhere quick via warping thanks to Noctis? It'll come in handy when he can just sling the thing onto his back and not have to worry about holding it. Leaves his back exposed, sure. But when has he ever had it easy, right? Just means he's gotta be damn quick and good.
He's about to make his way outside, lantern slung over his shoulder and his one kukri held in his hand, when he stops at catching sight of something... someone? Until he happens to see just who it is. ]
[ Luna, for the most part, has kept to herself. Not completely, of course; she's wanted to help Nyx settle in as much as she could and she's always present for meals and for any sort of household activity that's going on. But she's taken to up and leaving on her own for hours and hours at a time without really letting anyone know, because why should she? It's not as if it matters.
As a matter of fact, she's about to do just that. She's slipped her heels on and she's got a basket hung from her left arm and she is most certainly headed for the door when she both catches sight of Nyx and hears him ask her a question. ]
Good afternoon, Nyx. I am, yes... are you?
[ Because she sees you. She knows you're about to take off, too. ]
[ Oh. Oh, he's headed out to do the same thing as she. This is interesting. ]
Then it seems that you and I have the same idea. You do realize what this means, don't you?
[ What it means, is that she is going to let her lantern hang off of her wrist next to the basket on her arm so that she can link her free arm through one of his own, smiling. This isn't anything he asked for, no. But it's what he's getting. ]
I suppose that means we'll be headed out together, then.
[ There's only silence as he looks to her arm hooked through his and... he knows better. He does. When has she ever really listened to him? And yet he still feels the need to say something, even if it will be useless. ]
We? Getting a bit ahead of yourself there, aren't you?
[ Yet he doesn't pull away, doesn't try and steer her back to her (their??) room or anything. ]
This is where I tell you that this isn't Insomnia and despite his royal highness granting me his magic here, it's still not a good idea to go out into whatever's out there.
Think you might have better luck fighting whatever's out here.
[ And he might give the faintest sound of a chuckle at that, shaking his head as they go. Regardless of whether or not she's capable of taking care of herself, he's not about to let anything happen to her and so he keeps himself on his toes as they go, the neverending darkness a hindrance in way of keeping watch. Nothing he can't handle at least. Or so he tells himself. ]
From what I've gathered, there's not a whole lot in the way of things to hunt or grow here, is there?
Agreed. But perhaps if he doesn't know what we are feeding him...
[ Does he catch her drift? She smiles at him again before turning her gaze back out into the darkness. It's easy to navigate into the forest, where spirits dart to and fro, peering at them from behind trees. ]
No, unfortunately. If we are still able to get supplies, I would like to put in a request for seeds for fruits and vegetables. That way, this cannot happen again.
[ He glances to her as they go, though comes to look away from her when he hears... something. It's... faint but familiar? At least it seems that way. Staring off into the darkness around them, he swipes his tongue over his lower lip before he looks back to Luna. ]
[ Even as he explains himself to her, he can't help but glance off around them again. Watching. Wondering. Hand itching to take hold of his dagger. It could just be his imagination? Yeah, that's it, right? But he knows better than to brush off anything, especially when surrounded by so much darkness. ]
[ It's Lunafreya's turn to frown out into the darkness, eyes narrowing as she scans the area and finds... nothing but the usual darkness and gloom that surrounds them. ]
I think it's safe, I neither see nor hear anything suspicious.

You going somewhere?
no subject
As a matter of fact, she's about to do just that. She's slipped her heels on and she's got a basket hung from her left arm and she is most certainly headed for the door when she both catches sight of Nyx and hears him ask her a question. ]
Good afternoon, Nyx. I am, yes... are you?
[ Because she sees you. She knows you're about to take off, too. ]
no subject
Was about to, yeah. No sense in sitting around here doing nothing when supplies are bound to run low.
no subject
Then it seems that you and I have the same idea. You do realize what this means, don't you?

no subject
No, not at all.
[ There he goes, giving her warnings, and it makes her laugh. ]
Nyx, I've been here a while now. I know what this place is and what could potentially happen. I go out alone every day, you know.
no subject
[ It's said with a sigh laced within it because he expected as much, despite how short a time they knew one another back on Eos. ]
If you didn't, that would just make life here a little too easy, right?
[ Even as he mutters the words, he follows alongside her, making sure to close the door behind them before she drags him off to wherever. ]
Can you attempt to promise me something? If something happens, let me handle it?
no subject
[ Look at how responsible he is. She hums in thought, looking as though she's contemplating his request. ]
Do you think I cannot defend myself, Nyx?
no subject
[ He adjusts his lantern over his shoulder again, a means to allow for more light around him. Well, the best he can do with what little he has. ]
Doesn't mean I'm not gonna be there beside you though. Besides, thought I told you I was the hero.
no subject
[ She thinks he is, at least. Whether he realizes it or not, of course. ]
I will be beside you, too. Safety in numbers, isn't it?
[ Something like that, at least. ]
I hope we can find something edible while we are out here. If it is a vegetable, then I hope we are able to convince Noctis to eat it.
no subject

Sorry, what?
[ Did she.. say something? ]
no subject
[ She is about to continue, but Nyx's attention is drawn elsewhere. It makes her go quiet, her gaze locked on him until he looks back at her. ]
....Are you alright?
no subject
[ Even as he explains himself to her, he can't help but glance off around them again. Watching. Wondering. Hand itching to take hold of his dagger. It could just be his imagination?

no subject
[ Still, it's not as though he's going to completely ignore the possibility of something or someone being out there. Just look at where they are. ]
Better get a move on. At least where there's a bit more light or people.
no subject
[ She smiles at him, giving him the lightest of playful nudges as they go along. ]
Should we not be looking to do the opposite of that? Where there are people, there will likely be less food and things to be found, yes?
no subject
[ It's said as they continue on, a fleeting glance given to their surroundings. ]
True. But there's safety in numbers as well. Besides, if we keep close enough, there's nothing wrong with that.
no subject
[ It's too easy to tease him gently, after all. Besides, she wants to put his mind at ease. ]
Perhaps. We can try that first, and if we cannot find many supplies, then we will head off deeper into the forest. Does that sound alright?
no subject
[ A shake of his head, he sighs a bit. ]
You don't really do the whole playing it safe thing, do you?
no subject
[ She laughs, though, looking back at the path ahead of them. ]
I would much rather take the chance and see if we can't find something good, that's all.
