[carbungle]

[His shoulders slump, a small, subtle sign of relief, and his smile brightens.]

It looks good. You look almost like a Crownsguard.

[iustaegis]

[ She brings a hand to her chest, giving him a playful salute as she giggles. ] Your Majesty, Noctis Lucis Caelum... [ A pause. ]

Am I... [ Pfft, another short laugh. ] doing it right? Or do you have numerals after your name?

[carbungle]

[Noctis scoffs a laugh. Gods no.]

Even if I do, I'm not telling you. That was almost as weird as if Prompto had done it.

[iustaegis]

[ She pouts, but it's dramatically false. ] Mm, no laughing. It's my first day as a Crownsguard! I'm doing my best! [ In a black T-shirt.

...Is this what Crownsguard really wear. ]

[carbungle]

[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.]

[iustaegis]

[ 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. ]

[carbungle]

[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.]

[iustaegis]

[ Gladio in booty shorts tho. This is an Pyra-sanctioned approval of a change to the future. ]

And you? You’ll be adopting this superior fashion change, too?

[carbungle]

No way, the crown can't dress like a Crownsguard. How would they know who they're guarding?

[It's so illogical!]

I'll be in my PJs.

[iustaegis]

[ She... she can't even remotely keep a straight face anymore. ]

N-Noct!

[ She laughs, her shoulders shaking. ] Oh, you're right, you're right. We have to protect our king while he gets his beauty rest.

[carbungle]

[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.

[iustaegis]

[ She gestures towards him. ] You may as well forgo the shorts for everyone and assign pajamas to your Crownsguard instead.

[carbungle]

Counterpoint: pajama shorts.

[He doesn't have to wear them, but they're an option!]

[iustaegis]

[ A! Gasp! He is right! ] Where do I sign up?

[carbungle]

[Sign up... the Crownsguard offices? Gods, it's been years since he's been down there. Not that it actually matters here.]

Proclamation #3: no unnecessary paperwork when the king decides he's too lazy to sign something. Consider yourself hired.

[iustaegis]

[ She giggles again, cheering at the fake hiring, as well as his proclamation. ] Crownsguard Pyra, reporting for duty. [ Have a casual salute. ]

Ooh, ooh! May I make a suggestion?

[carbungle]

Permission to speak freely, uh- ...whatever the junior rank is for Crownsguard.

[He makes a note to ask Cor later. He's committing fully to the bit, here.]

[iustaegis]

[ Does this mean she must be at ease or at attention?? She doesn't know, so she places a hand upon her hip. Totally a soldier, this one. ]

Can the next proclamation be about having cake after every victory? King's choice of kind, of course.

[carbungle]

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.

[iustaegis]

Eh...? Why not carrot cake?

[ Isn't it a cake, too?? She's only asking because she's curious. ]

[carbungle]

I hate carrots.

[That is literally the only reason.]

[iustaegis]

[ Duly noted. ]

As your junior Crownsguard, I pledge to never serve-- [ "My king"? "My liege"? What fits here? ]-- my pajama-wearing king carrots.

[ Keep a serious face, keep a serious face, hoooolddd it-- ]

[carbungle]

[Oh, bless. He can't hold it at all.]

Keep that up and you'll be promoted in no time.

[iustaegis]

From... from pajama-shorts to a [ Pffft-- ] pajama onesie, mm?

[ Yet soon as his expression breaks into a smile, she cannot hold it any longer, either. Bursting into laughter again, she has to take a few moments to regain her composure. ]

[carbungle]

[Okay, okay, okay. Even he can't fight a chuckle at that one. The mental image is too absurd- especially when it comes hand in hand with the thought of the Crownsguard he knows wearing onesies while fighting daemons.]

We might have to rename the Crown City at this rate, with everyone sleeping and wearing PJs.
