The king was concentrating on finding an elevator, not sure this place even had one. He'd found some stairs and his boots echoed almost hollowly as he looked around. His hands touched the walls, trying to get a general idea as to how this place was set up and how it ran. So he was mainly quiet, searching around to learn what he could in case he needed it for later.

When it came to plans, this man wasn't good with them. Warp striking anything and having his men come up behind him to back home up was more his style. Noctis would normally stay in the back and let the other three go ahead of him. But they weren't here and he'd made a point to say to Kuja that he would protect him. And this one was notorious for keeping promise.

So hearing the majesty startled the dark haired man out of his focused search and his blue eyes turned to the silver haired man. It took a moment to process a response, hoping that wasn't going to come in between them being friends.

With a smirk, Noct nodded. "Yup, especially if I promised I'd protect them."
