[ company is always nice, especially when you don't like being alone all that much. ]
oh yeah that makes sense then i definitely don't mind coming over [ there's a little pause there. ] i met robby!! unless there's like multiple robbys robbi? robbii?? idk the plural for that
anyway uh if this is him then i know robby
[ and he sends a candid of robby while in the gym, something he'd taken just to test the lighting of the place and see how the camera works. ]
[ .. huh? Prompto's messages are so energetic that Daniel almost has trouble keeping up with them all, not quite used to these levels of practically-teen energy.. To the point where he opens the photo the moment it shows up, losing all context as to why Prompto is sending it at first.
It's a nice picture, though. Mostly because Daniel is just middle-aged dad material enough to just.. smile at a picture of Robby doing stuff, even in a desolate place like this. Sensei's so proud of you, kid!!
Realising his thoughts wandered off there, Daniel closes the photo again, this time reading Prompto's messages a little more closely. ]
Yes, that is him. Then you should definitely come over for dinner sometime. I'm sure he'll be glad to have dinner together with you. It's important to have good friends in a place like this, right?
[ Yes, he is setting up a friend date here!! Anything for Daniel's favourite student. ]
[ sorry, daniel. this is just how youngsters text these days. ]
yeah totally!
but um... what about you? i mean you need to have friends here too
[ not that prompto isn't grateful for him making a friend date, but it's important to think about yourself too. he'll make sure to friend the heck out of him if that's the case, even if the age difference might be a bit of a gap. this place is lonely enough on its own, so they should try to stick together as best they can. ]
Well, there aren't a whole lot of people my age here.
[ Though it's at least not like there aren't some adults - but most of them are still quite a bit younger than Daniel himself is.
Not to mention he notoriously has a problem with making actual friends, b-but ssh.. It's not like he's going to admit to that to someone he views as a kid. Please. He could never. ]
But I'm fine, really. It's sweet of you, but you don't have to worry about me. I'm already glad enough by being able to help out young people here like you.

you're not that old! [ he's just guessing here, actually. ]
and anyway everybody needs friends
or people they can rely on or talk to
it's not like this place is overcrowded or anything so
we can always just hang out too
[ never mind the age gap, daniel! just let prompto be your friend. ]
no subject
Alright, alright. Something tells me I'm not going to get you off my back unless I agree that you can come and talk with me whenever you want, huh?
[ It's okay, Prompto, he's just joking. Daniel actually doesn't mind - especially when it's a good way to keep an eye on Prompto in turn as well. ]
But just for the record: how old do you think I am?
[ A dangerous question!!! ]
