Noctis shrugged at the question. "Not really sure." The game wasn't working but he didn't consider it a total waste of time. They wouldn't have had time like this back under the different Gods. Well, unless Kuja considered it a waste of time, but the king wasn't going to ask.

Fighting wasn't going to work, and they weren't playing the board game because the leopard had come and interrupted and dominated the king's brain. He noticed the other kids there on the field so it might be worth it to get up and go train with them.

And maybe he'd sat here long enough for Kuja to get tired of him. So he pets the cat a few more times and picked up his father's sword.

"Guess I'll get going then. See ya around and thanks..for the company."

That felt weird to say, but Noctis nodded and turned to leave.
