[ Sorry Prompto, X’rhun has been palling around with everyone’s favorite fashion disaster. But it’s just as well that they stay on topic, anyway. The atmosphere is heavy enough as it is, and it would be a shame to weigh it down even more. ]
I have no doubt that it did. On the whole, you’ve been good for her, I think.
[ Alisaie had...told him as much, how he'd been a light to her, and how he didn't understand what he brought to others. It's true - he doesn't, but somehow X'rhun saying as much makes Prompto believe it just a little bit more. Could he really...have been good for Alisaie? ]
It all just...kind of happened. Most of the time, it still feels like a total dream, even when...things are...you know.
[ He gestures vaguely to everything around them, and then falls silent for a few moments, contemplating his food. When he speaks again, his voice is barely more than a whisper. ]
I-I...I love her.
[ And he doesn't know what he will do if she doesn't make it through this. ]
[ He wouldn’t say it if he didn’t mean it, after all. Even for all that he likes to tease, he’s honest to a fault most of the time. ]
Alisaie said the same, and I’ll say to you what I said to her: no one expects to fall in love. It’s just happens. But I am glad that the two of you have each other in this place, especially given what we’ve all gone through to get here, and what we’re going through now.
[ Those three little words should not come out so meek, so frightened, and X’rhun reaches over to again rest his hand on Prompto’s shoulder. ]
You must know by now as well as I how much of a fighter Alisaie is. She’ll return to us.
[ X'rhun voices what Prompto has been telling himself over and over again, words that were more important to him than anything else right now. Alisaie is a fighter, one of the strongest people Prompto has ever met in his life. That flame of hope is all that has kept him going since she last slipped from consciousness, and hearing someone else talk about it makes it feel less like a lost hope. She would return to them. She had to. That's the only outcome Prompto can let himself entertain, as long as there is still hope for the cure.
After all, she'd made him a promise. ]
She will. I know she will. [ In return, he lifts his own hand to X'rhun's shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. ] We just gotta...wait it out.
