His blue eyes kept a steady gaze on the clock as Kuja went on. He really had no idea what the other was getting at, other than the thing was broken and he didn't like it. Geez, he really did sound like Ignis at times. What was so great or rather to be despaired over about a clock that didn't tell time?

Cecil's words spoken to him long ago about that warior guy suddenly ran through Noctis as he stood there with Kuja. 'Ever have someone you didn't understand... And yet, you find that what is important to them... suddenly becomes important to you?'

The king smiled briefly and put his hands on the back of his head lacing his fingers together just as he did when he'd understood the Paladin's words. He didn't speak for awhile as the memory went through him, but then he repeated his own spoken reply that day as he turned to his companion, now putting his hands down.

"Nothing's gonna get done if we just stand here."

Another moment passed as he thought a moment. 'Thank you Cecil.'
