It had been an odd reunion, but a good one, despite the heaviness that surrounded it. Ignis' vision had been true: they had barely gathered together at the Hammerhead, making plans to travel to Galdin Quay themselves to perhaps meet Noctis there past Angelgard, when the sound of Talcott's truck rolling in stopped them, and their lost king, gone for this entire long, dark decade, finally returned to them.
A joyous reunion, but bittersweet, because they knew time was short. "We have some catching up to do," Noctis had said, but, really, it wasn't like there was much to report on, and they all knew their next steps...and what the end results were destined to be. But it had to be done; this was the time they'd all been waiting for, and after plans were made, they geared up and marched to the east, toward Insomnia, the Crown City, cloaked in darkness and daemons and Magitek forces all these years, to finally take it....and the rest of the world...back.
But first, they made camp. On that same ridge where they'd confirmed that the city had fallen to enemy forces so very long ago, they settled in that one last time. Ignis scrounged up a final camp meal out of whatever they had available to them, and everything was quiet, except for the crackling of the fire.
( After all these years, and, suddenly, it felt like there was nothing left to say. )
But, eventually, Noctis simply said, between barely restrained tears of his own, "You guys?
"....are the best."
