I dunno, dude. Some of these are kinda big and nasty...

[Sharks. They were sharks. At least some of them. There were other fish and creatures but this area was one built mostly for sharks. With teeth and anger issues. And Prompto wasn't sure that they could just be fished up with a normal fishing rod!

But the littler guys?]

We can maybe go exploring one of these days? Check out places around here and Kyoto, see what the fishings like down that end?

[sleepsalot]

You saw me land that fish Navyth kept going on about, I could totally land one of these big, nasty things. I've got my rods and reels with me, too.

[ He squeezes Prompto's hand before letting it go to walk over to another viewing area so he can look out into a different area of the aquarium. ]

I'd like to go over to Kyoto and see what it's like. We could take the whole day, look for some good fishing spots, find somewhere to eat... You could take some pics around the city, too.

[silverselfie]

Yeah but that guy didn't have nearly as many teeth, dude!

[He was laughing when Noct let go of his hand and he trailed after him.]

Guess it's a date then! We'll make a day of it. Maybe even find an inn and stay the night?

[Getting the last train home could be tricky, or so he'd heard. So staying over was probably for the best.

It was as he was thinking about this that, just off to the right of them, a shadow that had been following them joined their down and made for Noct in particular.]

[sleepsalot]

Staying in an inn will feel kinda like we're back in Lucis. [ He pauses, looking back over his shoulder at Prompto ] I think that sounds like a great idea.

[ He turns his attention back to the view from the window he's currently standing in front of. There are so many sharks he's never seen before, more than he even knew existed, and he stops to wonder what Ignis would think of all of this, if he'd see some of these things and come up with some sort of new recipe.

He's fully distracted when the shadow approaches, barely taking note of it until he moves to take a step toward Prompto, his own shadow crossing the path of the shark's shadow. ]

Shit--!

[ He drops to his knees, grabbing his left arm at his shoulder and doubling over in pain, no idea what has happened to him ]</small

[Prompto hadn't thought of it in those terms before but it really would be like back in Lucis. Now he was looking forward to it even more. Having a fun day of fishing and hanging out only to crash in an inn at the end of the day. The only way it could be better is if they had the Regalia. But maybe they could bring the chocobo's along and get around like that?

He'd started smiling when Noct turned to him and was about to reach out a hand for his, the intent to grab him and pull him in for a sneaky kiss while they were alone. But before he could, Noctis grabbed at his shoulder, a look of pain clouding his expression. Prompto grabbed at him then, pulling him close for a whole different reason.

In the same movement he'd materialised a gun and had it out and pointed at... what?]

What was that? Noct, are you okay? Did you see what it was? I was looking right at you and didn't see a thing!

Except...

[Was that shadow moving or was it a trick of the light?]

[sleepsalot]

[ It takes Noctis a couple of seconds to process that Prompto is asking him questions, asking if he's okay and if he saw what happened. All he can focus on is the pain radiating from his shoulder down his arm and spreading through his neck and chest. It felt like something found in Steyliff Grove or Costlemark Tower had sunk its nasty, decaying fangs into his arm, or stabbed him with some jagged sword.

He's grabbing at Prompto, trying to pull himself to his feet because he's suffered worse injuries than this, right? He's been through so much more, so some... invisible something that has attacked him should be nothing. ]

I didn't see anything! It-- Something attacked me.

[ He grits his teeth, but he can't find his footing, grabbing at his shoulder again after reaching too far out, sending pain shooting through his body. Noctis peels his hand away from his shoulder and there's... nothing. No blood, nothing. ]

I'm not even bleeding, but it feels like my arm is being ripped off--

[silverselfie]

[Prompto had an arm around Noct's waist, getting the hint he bodily hauled his boyfriend up to his feet and took a stumbling step backwards with him held tight to his side.

While Noct checked out his injury, Prompto had summoned a gun and had it aimed ahead of him at the moving shadow, eyes narrowed.]

Somethin's here with us though. Noct... I think it was that shadow. Look. It's not ours and it's not from the tank.

[He really really wanted to check on Noct more, he was worried badly, but Prompto didn't want to take his eyes off of the thing in front of them in case it came in for the kill.]

[sleepsalot]

[ Letting go of his shoulder, Noctis grabs for Prompto's arm when he sees him summon one of his firearms because what is he thinking pulling out a gun right now?! When he finds his voice, he speaks through gritted teeth ]

We're in an aquarium!

[ But Noctis can't pull his arm close enough to grab the gun, instead grabbing his own shoulder again as the pain shoots through his arm and neck again. ]

You can't fire a gun in here! One shot into the glass and we're all dead--! [ He leans against the aquarium wall, sighing ] What are you going to do with your gun against a shadow...?

[silverselfie]

I'm not dumb, I know where I am! I know, I know!

[He couldn't shoot with bullets, he'd break the glass and then they'd have real sharks to worry about, as well with gallons and gallons of water crashing down around them.

And then Noctis gave him the idea he needed and Prompto grinned as he aimed the gun down the tunnel and toward the shadows.]

Close your eyes, Noct! I'm gonna lit this guy up!

[It wasn't a bullet he shot but a burst of light energy, almost like a flare, bright enough to light up even the darkest corners. Prompto had to look away as he did it and immediately put the gun away after he'd fired off the shot so that he could grab Noct and drag him away.]

C'mon, that's not gonna last long! Lets get away before it realises!
