"Yeah, no problem. I'll tell you everything I can remember..." He didn't mind filling Ignis in, and started describing everything he could recall. How they had found Noct but not Luna, leaving on the train, going into the mines. He did his best to soften his description of everything that happened. He left out Ignis tripping and falling, and when he thought of camping there it still hurt when Noct refused to look at his photos. Such a little thing, but he'd felt so helpless at the time. Instead he glossed over the details of making it through the mine and told Iggy about how Gladio and Noct had been having a spat, but after Ignis set the malboro on fire he sorted them out.
Then they were going to stop in Tenebrae, but the Empire had attacked. He squeezed the wet fabric of his pants as he got to the last thing he remembered on the train.
As he spoke he really sounded like he was holding himself together with some bubblegum and duct tape, "So Noct... I was looking out the window, and he came after me. I wasn't sure what he was trying to do at first, but he was really coming after me. He was trying to kill me." His fingers tried to dig into the taut fabric but failed. He hated telling Ignis this. He knew how much Iggy cared about Noct, and he already had so much to worry about. "I managed to get away from him. I thought... something had to be wrong. Then the Empire attacked and was trying to blow up the train. I found Ardyn on the roof, and just when I had him at gun point I heard Noct yell for me. He warped in and he..." Prompto hung his head. "He pushed me off the train."
The surprise and disbelief in his voice were palpable. He was just barely keeping his voice from breaking. It had happened so recently, and he could still remember looking up at Noct's face as he fell. The absolute shock it had been. Hitting the ground and having the wind knocked out of him were nothing in comparison.
And everything he'd gone through since they left. He wasn't sure if right now was the time to talk about that. He would admit what he was to Iggy just as soon as they had a safe place to settle down. Instead, he skipped over everything. "I was taking the snowmobile to go find all of you again. Oh, and I ran into Aranea. She said she saw you guys in Tenebrae, so you must have made it there." That was as far as he knew about what had happened with them since falling.
"She said you guys were asking about me." And somehow his tone seemed to indicate that was a surprise from him. It was something small that he could cling to, a sign that they wanted him back. At the same time it was almost left open, like Ignis could confirm or deny it. His gaze flicked nervously Ignis' way, his breath shaky.
