[A pang of guilt washes over him once he sees that look of sheer fright within Noct's eyes. Does his son think he's about to become a zombie? It certainly seems that way but there's something else there. Of course, Noctis doesn't fully believe zombies exist but he frets over Regis because of his failing health.
Noctis watched as the Crystal drained the life out of his father bit by bit. Regis remembers distinctly the conversation he had with Noctis when the boy was just sixteen or so. The two weren't speaking for whatever reason and Regis had a public appointment at a local event in Insomnia. Many were unaware of the king's failing health until he appeared on public television sporting a cane. The conversation that came later between father and son honestly haunted Regis until the end of his days. ]
Noctis, I'm fine. [He admits with a hesitant chuckle.] Look at me, Noct.
I'm fine.
[To show that he's not about to turn into some slaw-jawed zombie, Regis reaches up and playfully ruffles Noctis' hair. He didn't mean to scare the poor lad but Regis' sense of humor is truly lacking sometimes.]
I apologize, son. I didn't mean to cause such panic.
omg! noctis ;-; my poor baby
