[ Noctis is a sight for sore eyes, certainly, and it's hard to wrap her brain around the fact that he is here and not in some dreamscape between life and death. That some how, some way they've managed to find their way back to each other in a strange, brave new world.

At home, they hadn't had a chance to talk face to face, not like this at least. They hadn't had much time together at all before everything went to hell and back, and it feels like they're getting some sort of second chance to reconnect the way they were meant to.

He says he's missed her, and it makes her small smile widen that much more. ]

I have missed you as well. Did you also just arrive?

[ Unlike poor Noctis, she's got no prior memories of this place, or any time spent together. When he tilts her head up and leans in, her heart skips a beat; twelve years and an entire ocean may have divided them, but her feelings for Noctis have always remained the same, have only grown that much stronger over the years. There were so many things she'd wanted to tell him that she never got the chance to.

She's not going to stop him; this is her first kiss, and with the man she's been in love with for years. Now more than ever, she's certain that this can't be real. This has to be some sort of dream; but the touch of their lips solidifies that this isn't some sort of illusion. While she's a little shocked [and perhaps a tad bit flustered, thanks, Noctis], she does return his affection wholeheartedly.

When they finally need to pull back for a little oxygen, she can't help it, the way she remains close a moment longer, simply taking in everything that is him. ]

You are too sweet, dear Noctis. May I ask what I did to deserve that?
