Yes, if you don't mind. Two should be fine.

[He'll motion over to said eggs, letting Prompto take charge if he likes. He hopes you can crack an egg without making too much of a mess, Prompto!

Of course, the entire time had been watching the young man as he obviously debated internally if he could Deal with using Ardyn's given name. He wonders, briefly, if he should address it.]

...Familiarity is a good thing, isn't it?

[mercurio]

[prompto manages just fine with the eggs! not even a bit of shell on the bowl he's using. he throws away the shells and goes over to the sink to clean up his hands from any eggy residue.]

[he's toweling his hands dry when he hears the question, startling slightly. continuing this line of conversation means opening up about things prompto doesn't necessarily find embarrassing--but shameful, in a way.]

Ye-yeah.

[toweling hands profusely, looking down at his handiwork]

I don't really have... much of a relationship with adults. It's always a teacher or a cop or my boss. Ma'am, sir, the like. It's--

[hard to explain]

Different. To get to call you by your first name? [he sets the towel back in its place] Like, you're not just one of the professors from university anymore.

[daemonized]

[Ardyn listens, even as he finds a whisk from one of his drawers and hands it to Prompto, with the intention of letting the boy whisk the eggs properly.]

Well, if it's not so bold for me to say, I think you should have an adult in your life that you feel comfortable enough around to not call them sir or ma'am.

[He laughs a little, to ease Prompto's tensions.]

Not that I'm saying I'm a pillar of shining light myself, but role models will never go amiss in a young person's life. Who else would teach you how to make waffles, after all?

where did this notif go

[mercurio]

[the pause he stutters his response from is so obvious]

Ri...right!

[but he keeps his head low, whisking away at the eggs with something akin to determination in his movements]

[no matter how much ardyn attempts to ease his tensions, they're still there. he would learn how to make waffle from his parents, wouldn't he? he barely learnt how to make a grilled sandwich when his mother felt like being kind.]

[role models will never go amiss, and ardyn thinking prompto should have one adult to feel comfortable around is a rather dizzying idea. not all adults are the same, but he feels jaded about the whole situation with his parents.]

[whisk whisk whisk... he's not going for peaks here, is he?]
