[ooc: Home from the LARP! Exhausted but it was GREAT fun!]
From the sound of it, Prompto sure is surprised that Cor is here. Ignis can't see the relief in Prompto's eyes when he realizes who he's looking at, or the slight sag of Gladio's shoulders that had been unconsciously up near his ears in tension, but Cor misses neither. He misses little, even if there is now a touch of grey in his hair. Iris wouldn't let him, for a moment, miss anything.
"No need. ...I would have been here sooner, if I could." The distance had been too far to close in the time they had given him to respond, something that sits bitterly in his stomach as he looks on yet another King he has outlived, another he was supposed to protect, but none of it shows in his face. "I'll watch over him."
Yet his tone... it's subtle, but what seems like an offer is in reality a question - do you trust me to watch over him? Not in a doubt of skill but he hadn't been here. When he was needed for this final fight. They have the right to deny him that or even send him in their place.
