Don't worry. I got that message loud and clear. [Noctis didn't get his start in the Quad. As an outsider he'd had to find a way to make money any way he could, and he had to do it with too much conscience for dirty work and a heart that couldn't make peace with bounty hunting. This niche he's carved out for himself is small and sometimes it's difficult, but it's his.
He's never asked for Hanna's story. He's never asked what the world gave her or took away to make her eyes hard and the line of her mouth sad. He's accepted her for who she is in any given moment- whether that's to scold him or pick a fight or offer a word of caution. Here and now Noctis knows that she's pissed about something and he knows his answer wasn't good enough.
They come from different places and are set on different trajectories, but that doesn't mean that the things she says don't resonate. Noctis takes his lemon water, however unhappily, and his shoulders soften.]
