[Prompto's image appears on the network with a worried expression on his face. He's already in his pjs (tank top and chocobo yellow pj bottoms) and he's pretty sure Iggy's already in bed but.. there's a very big and important 'something' missing from his room.]

Hey uh.. sorry for bugging everyone but uh..

[He glances back at his room uncertain.]

Has anyone seen Gladio? Buddy? If you're around will you just.. I don't know, shout 'Marco' or something for me? If you need alone time or whatever, that's cool. I won't come bother you but.. just..

[What if Gladio really was needing some alone time and he was being stupid about this? He didn't want to be harassing the poor guy.]

Never mind.

[ She looks up at him. ]

Do you want to?

[ That's the most important question here, after all. Madoka isn't sure if he wants to or not if she's just going by that wording, and she wouldn't want to force Prompto into anything..

.. but then she does remember him saying he's no good at having to decide things. So she squeezes his hand and adds: ] I wouldn't mind it.

[bethereprompto]

Umm..

[Was he allowed to say yes? He didn't really know the rules here. He might need to go have a talk with Gladio about what an uncle was supposed to do. Technically if they ever went home and remembered all this, he'd kind of be an uncle-ish-person to Iris, wouldn't he? Huh. He'd never thought about that before.

His attention was drawn back to her when she squeezed his hand. Her comment brought a smile to his face again.]

Yeah? Cool! I'll definitely do it then. Are you on the top bunk or bottom? Do you need anything besides your kitty to sleep?

[ If this was anyone else, Madoka might have pouted just the tiniest bit and said that it's not like she's a little kid anymore who needs something else to sleep.

But Prompto's enthusiasm and smile is endearing, not to mention good to see under the current circumstances. So Madoka just smiles right back at him. ]

I'm on the bottom there.

[ She points at the bunk before walking over to sit down on it. ]

And I don't need anything else. Just.. um, please put him down gently.. here, he can have part of the pillow.

[bethereprompto]

[Hey, he liked having his bear, Cindy, and his even bigger bear, Gladio, with him when he slept! He didn't know.

He followed her instructions and placed the kitty on the pillow like he was as delicate as a snowflake.]

Bye little buddy. You're in good hands with my niece. Hope you feel better soon.

[He turned his attention back to Madoka. When she got in bed, he helped tuck her in. With a smile, he said good night and went back to his room feeling like maybe he could survive this loss after all.]
