[video] what a happy nerd

[carbungle]

[The video opens with the camera up close to Noctis, where he's trying very hard to look serious while fighting off what can only be considered giddiness.]

Hey, question for Havenwell at large... I'm pretty disappointed right now.

[He turns the camera, revealing a little lake, sparkling blue-green in colour and surrounded by lush foliage. There's a soft splash just off the shore, and Noctis utters a muffled, "there you are!" fumbling with the communicator for a moment until a lure goes flying towards it, attached to a fishing line.

When the camera returns to Noctis, he is grinning like an absolute fool, holding his fishing rod.]

Why did no one tell me about this place? Or am I the first? I hope I'm the first. Can I name it? [His voice lowers, conspiratorial.] There's fish here.

[The video cuts off, but included in his message are the coordinates to what one might assume is the pond in question, where Noct can be found fishing all. Day. Long. There's a blue chocobo curled up on a nearby rock, waiting patiently for him to finish as she's done dozens of times before.]

[ W h a t how could you have restrained yourself??? ]

Then I guess I'll have to jump in and find out.

[carbungle]

Don't you dare! Not until I'm done!

[astralera]

But what if I jump in the opposite side?

[carbungle]

I might fish over there.

[astralera]

Then you'll just have to fish me out if you do. It will be a good place to nap.

[carbungle]

It's a horrible place to nap. It's wet and dirty, the seaweed'll make you smell.

[astralera]

It's a pond, Noct, not the sea.

[carbungle]

If you think ponds aren't all of the things I just described, you haven't been to near enough of them.

[astralera]

You're just trying to convince me not to so you can hoard all the fish.

[carbungle]

I'm trying to convince you so you don't ruin my fishing session.

[astralera]

One day I'll give a hug while I'm all stinky and covered in pondweed and scum.

[carbungle]

Oh, gross. If you muck up my good jacket I'm gonna teach Hythlo how to say you smell like farts.

[astralera]

If it gets ruined I can just make you a new, better good jacket!

[carbungle]

You can't replace this jacket, it's genuine Crownsguard make.

[He's very particular!!]

[astralera]

Ah, so that means it's a fancy emo-goth jacket.

[ Is she teasing? Yes. So much. ]

[carbungle]

[Tease or not-]

And don't forget it.

[-it's accurate.]
