Oh.

[ Well, she understands what he's hinting at now, at least. ]

You are a popular young man... what isn't to love about you? You are intelligent, kind, benevolent, handsome, funny, caring... I could go on, if you'd like.

[broplaints]

Yeah? And so are hundreds of other people. I don't see you guys falling for them.

[He is having a crisis, Luna.]

[luxoraculi]

Because that isn't how love works, Noctis. You should know that, being in love yourself.

[ WELCOME TO HER HELL FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS, NOCT. ]

[broplaints]

[HE CAN TASTE YOUR SALT FROM HERE.]

Yeah, I know. You can't chose who you love. But all it's doing is hurting you.

[luxoraculi]

[ DO YOU ENJOY THE TASTE?? BECAUSE YOU'LL BE TASTING A LOT OF IT FROM MORE THAN JUST HER, APPARENTLY. SAVOR IT, NOCT. ]

It is what it is. The heart wants what it wants. The only thing people can do is try to push forward and move on, yes?

[broplaints]

[NO. HE HATES IT. TAKE IT BACK.]

Great advice, Luna. You sound like a self help book.

[luxoraculi]

[ MMMM SALT ALL OF YOUR FOOD WITH IT. ]

I am being serious. Moving on isn't easy. It takes time.

[broplaints]

[THAT'S DISGUSTING.]

So what am I supposed to do in the mean time? Just... stop being myself?

[luxoraculi]

[ SALT YOUR FRIES WITH IT. DRINK THOSE SALTY TEARS OUT OF A SHOT GLASS TOO WHILE YOU'RE AT IT. ]

That would be silly. You should never stop being yourself. Just be gentle and have compassion. You've already got those two things in spades.

[broplaints]

[YOUR GROSS THIS IS GROSS STOP IT.]

I'm trying, Luna. The last thing I ever wanted to do was cause any of you pain.

[luxoraculi]

[ NO NOW EAT IT, BITCH. ]

Then you are already doing enough. There's nothing you really can do, other than to give people time. Time heals all wounds, and it isn't as though hearts cannot be mended.

[broplaints]

[GET OUT.]

Kind of hard when I'm in the same house. When my boyfriend is in the same house.

[luxoraculi]

[ MAKE HER. ]

Well, if it helps, I've been thinking of getting a home of my own, so that would be one less person to worry about. Though Prompto may be a little trickier... so I think you should just give him time and space. Let him get used to the idea that you are very much taken and very happy. He will come around.

[broplaints]

[HAUL IT ON OVER HERE.]

You know that's just gonna make me worry about you more, right? I like all of us being together. But I... I really love him, Luna. So since I'm the problem, maybe I should be the one to go.

[luxoraculi]

[ SHE WILL, WHAT THEN? ]

You have no need to worry about me, Noctis. I can take care of myself, and it isn't as though I would not be over here every single day to visit. You could also come visit me, too. But you aren't a problem at all, silly. You love who you love, and everyone else needs to accept it and move on. There's no reason for you to go anywhere.

[broplaints]

Luna... [She's right. He know's she's right. And he also kind of hates it.] You're a really great friend, you know that?

[luxoraculi]

Just continue being yourself, and stay true to that. It's all you can do... the rest is up to everyone else. [ She likes being right! She smiles at him and moves to wrap her arms around him, even if that means half smothering the poor man because he is still laying down. ] You are too! So stop worrying so much about everyone else. Enjoy the love you've found and hold onto it tightly.

[broplaints]

[He doesn't really mind. Although he would appreciate it being a full smothering at the moment. Still, his arms wrap around her in return, lifting his head to place his chin upon the top of hers.] Easier said than done. But... I'll try.

[luxoraculi]

[ She doesn't want to smother him!! No smothering for you, Noctis. Luna is content, however, to snuggle down against her poor young King, curling up against him happily. ] It is hardly easier said than done. It just needs to be done, dear Noctis. Everything will be fine, and so will everyone. Stop worrying so much. You know that we will all support you in not only your love, but your endeavors.

[broplaints]

[Either someone smothers him or he ends up yeeting himself into the lake. One of these two things is going to happen. As it is, he's currently content to simply allow her to snuggle down into him. Mostly because she's warm and he's an idiot who's been laying outside.] Yeah? Well my current endeavor is trying to figure out how to disappear into the ground. Got any tips for me?

[luxoraculi]

[ It's fine, he is also warm and she is happy to provide more warmth for him. His words have her snorting a laugh through her nose, and she reaches up to lightly flick one of his cheeks. ] No, I've no tips for you there. Other than to remind you that you are not allowed to do anything like that. Besides, you would get dirty, and there are insects in the ground. Also, it is cold.

[broplaints]

How about for yeeting myself into the lake? [Because honestly that's his other option here.]

[luxoraculi]

I'm unsure what a 'yeet' is. But it sounds unpleasant, so no. How about you stay here with me and be a nice pillow. [ Because that's your new job in life, Noctis. To be a convenient comfort for your stupid Oracle. Congratulations! ]

[broplaints]

[Oh dear tap dancing Shiva.] Uh... a yeet is kind of... it means a lot of different things? But in this case it means toss.

[luxoraculi]

Oh. [ Yeet is a stupid word and she already hates it but it's going to catch on and she hates that, too. ] Well, you are not allowed to do anything of the sort. You are far too comfortable to toss anywhere.
