Cor made a point of getting to the tower early so he could make some preparations, setting the table for the full family. Even Will is coming and that is so strange. Cor has never once in his life had a +1 for any kind of event. Yet here he is setting a table for nine instead of eight.

The prep work had taken weeks of going over the correct textures and tastes with the research team, something Ignis had taken on the bulk of the work for while the others worked on the wall. Still he was confident that they were close enough to get a solid match on many foods, leaving some of their bet recipes only very slightly off from the originals. Cor had taken over rolling a large selection of sushi as well as a light starter soup. Some of the more robust recipes had been Ignis' purview but, if nothing else, Cor is an efficient prep cook.

All in all there's a pretty spectacular spread when everyone arrives, something for everyone and a familiar Altissian berry cake for dessert.

It's a clear example of just how much the coming years will change Regis. While he fully believes what he says, a short time from now, he will look back on it as charmingly naive and after that? Well, he may even start to think it a completely foolish sentiment, even as part of him yearns quietly to be able to believe again.

That is all the future, though. Now, Regis bows his head slightly, a guilty laugh slipping from his mouth, "It's easier to give advice than to follow it. You know that, right? But, if it will help you to do it, then I will certainly give it my best shot."

Noctis glances over at him, his lips helplessly quirking into a small smile. This place is such an absurd blessing to them all, isn't it? They're abducted and trapped on a doomed planet, serving gods they know nothing about, and here he is holding hands with his in-future-dead father, thinking about how he can't remember the last time he'd heard Regis laugh before coming here.

It's a beautiful, bittersweet thing, but he clings to it. "I'll hold you to that. And make sure to think about what Mom would say, if she caught you hiding out here alone instead of being with us."

He never met the woman, but he knows enough now to recognize that she would have absolutely none of it.
