Nah. I know I'm awesome.
[Though it's only because of how much they've accomplished that he can say that with a (mostly) straight face. He's never felt confident with magic like this before. And he still struggles, can still look at people like his father or Cor or Somnus and see real power, real skill, with him limping along behind them with the power of the Chosen as a crutch. He still has so far to go. But he's getting better, and he owes a lot of that progress to her.]
It's not just the training, though. King's Knight is almost finished, too, and I couldn't have done that without you.

[ She looks down at the shirt in her hands. It's black, just like the one he wears, but there's a faint pattern upon it...
She can use the excuse that helping him become more refined with his power means that he may be better able to help this world. But what of the virtual reality she's building with him? It might give him some respite from training, but that, too, is an excuse. The real reason is far simpler: she's happy to see him when he is happy. ] I... I see.
[ And selfishly, she has enjoyed those moments when they had been brainstorming at the cafe together, with him designing armor or weapons or characters, and her coding away... While she doesn't say anything, her expression is especially fond. ]

[Kind of, sort of, maybe. It's not a very uniform uniform.]
Hmm, can you really say that? You showed up to work without any pants on.
[Though there are probably some Crownsguard who've managed the job with booty shorts at some point. Once you hit a certain rank (or go on a world tour with the crown prince) you can wear whatever you want so long as it's black and bears the insignia.]

[ More like, no bra on. Because there ain’t nuthin’ beneath that shirt now. ]
Not fair! [ She laughs. ] This— [ Meaning, her booty shorts and those absolute territory stockings. Have a bit of a turn to show off the look of the shirt draping over the top of her shorts. Also, look at that ass, look at it! ] is perfectly fine, if Gladio can go practically shirtless!
[ She’s assuming that Gladio is a Crownsguard, since he has referred to him as a Shield. ]

[He does look at it. It's a nice ass, though it's more the fashion turn that nets her a bit of playful applause. He doesn't care what Era thinks of it, full black is totally great on Pyra, and she wears it well.]
Okay, you got me there. I'll take short-shorts into consideration for the official Crownsguard uniform when I take back Insomnia.
[Wouldn't Cor just love that proclamation.]

[It's a bit of a secret thrill, getting someone to laugh. He's usually not very good at that, it's more Prompto's thing. Just gonna enjoy the ego boost for a bit.]
That's another excellent proclamation. Everyone gets enough sleep. At least nine hours a night if they want it.

Hmm... I like that one, tempting. Maybe if it's optional. I can think of a few people who'd revolt if it was enforced.
[Prompto's always fussing about his weight and diet even though he's a perpetual string bean (though his concerns are understandable enough). Even as a joke, maybe that one's a little too insensitive.]
And I like just about all cakes, so the type doesn't matter so much. ...Except carrot cake is banned.
