[ As they'd both wound up in the royal guard, it was only a matter of time before Prompto and Lena ran into each other again. He hasn't forgotten about her, his spunky partner in the training sim who had a fondness for firearms like he did, and he'd been eager to meet up with her again. Make sure she's settling in okay, shoot the breeze, maybe goof off a bit if it's a slow day.
So when he sees the patrol schedule and discovers the two of them are assigned to work together the next day, he's up all the earlier to meet her outside the guardhouse, warming up with his usual little jig of perpetual inertia. He can't hold still at the best of times, and today he's no better for his excitement to be working with her.
Aaaand as soon as he can spot her approaching, he's waving with his whole body in greeting. ]
Hey! Long time no see, or what?

[ Who thought that people would be excited about guard duty, as excited as Lena is about it because she's the type to always be on the move, too. With her uniform on and her stone shining.
She's smart enough to not use her abilities just to get to work quickly. There's a skip in her step as she makes her way over to the guardhouse and a small smile spreads out on her lips when she hears a familiar voice. ]
Way too long! Man, it's so cool to see that you're here. [ Grinning now, she claps her hands together annnnd -- yeah, she's gonna be cheeky and use one blink to position herself right in front of him. ]

You, too! Made it through crash-landing on the planet and everything. Man, how crazy was that?
[ A grin splits his face to match hers. Even if the refugees tended to be a pretty tight-knit group by their shared, secret origin, this is still a huge city with millions of people. He considers himself extremely lucky to be working with her in this fashion.
Then she does her "blink" thing, which is still extremely cool, and he miiiight have taken the slightest step back in surprise. Look, he's used to seeing a very different kind of warping. ]
You gotta teach me how to do that sometime.
[ He's joking, since there's little chance he could learn it, BUT JUST THINK. ]

I can say that it was certainly interesting. Not sure if I want to go through that again though.
[ There were some fun and not so fun parts to it. On the plus side, it had been a positive experience overall for Lena -- not so much for a couple of others that she knows. Now isn't the time to think back on them, however. ]
Haha, this? [ Giving him a wink, Lena will rewind her own time so she's far away from Prompto and then once again blink herself to be in the same position as before. ] As handy as it is, you don't want it.

[ He can't help another laugh as she rewinds herself back and forth, She says he doesn't want it, but...it's awesome. Like a superpower a hero in a comic book would have. ]
I don't? [ There's curiosity to his tone, but not the kind that's prying and insistent. She doesn't have to explain why not if she doesn't want to. He understand better than most that a power like that can be...burdensome, at times. ]
I'd probably just use it to cause trouble, anyway. Think of how easy it'd be to sneak up on people!
[ She doesn't have to think about it. She probably knows already. ]

[ She nods her head towards him. ]
There's a lot of risks when it comes to it ... mostly, it's uncontrollable without this harness. [ And not a lot of fun to have, too. Lena isn't too worried when it comes to explaining what's happened to her because it's no big deal in her eyes.
Not anymore now that she has a way to control it at least. ]
It's super fun to do that. Although, not everyone enjoys it.

[ Okay, he can sorta see how that might not be appealing. Like, what if you went too far back in time and had to go through the whole process of getting ready for the day again? Or went too far ahead and missed your bedtime?
Man, it'd take some getting used to, for sure. ]
Can you take anyone along with you? I mean, like a...passenger situation?
[ Maybe he doesn't want to really have her power, buuuut it'd be cool to experience anyway, you know? ]

[ prompto, pls.
ur adorable and would not like to hear the horror stories of what she actually means by that. Despite it being scary, a least she can always maintain a brave face when thinking about it. ]
Nah, it doesn't work like that. It's only my time and not others.
[ It would be so cool if she could take people with her though!! ]

( ooc: from here! )
Guess that means anyone can be a chief if they want! Maybe I should always do that if world peace comes along... [ which is unlikely. there is always someone causing trouble somewhere, but she just hopes it won't be so dangerous as before. ]

Yep! You got it!
[She cracks two eggs open on the grill next to the noodles and whips them into a thin omelette, which begins to rapidly solidify. She heaps the noodles onto a plate and then sets the omelette on top of them, grabbing another thing of sauce and decorating it with a smiley-face sun.] With your zippy thing, you could be chef and waitress!
[She sets the noodles in front of Tracer.] There you go! One order of Niceoodles!

[ That's something he admittedly hasn't thought about, but they were able to give him back one of his (ludicrously) huge guns, so...
Maybe. ]
Sounds like my kind of plan! [ And with a resolute nod, he starts down the street, a little spring in his step. This job isn't always his favorite gig, but...most days are good, and this one is already off to an auspicious start. ]

[ Putting her hands behind her head, she gives a small spin to turn around. ] So, where are we supposed to be heading today?
[ She hadn't gotten a chance to check the board so she'll have to rely on Prompto to give her a hand. It beats wasting time running back and forth when there are people to save ... or protect ... or just help. ]

Noble District! [ Not his usual assignment, but that's another thing that makes it more special than usual. ]
So we gotta, you know...practice our fancy walks.
[ Whatever the hell that means. But if you're gonna patrol among royalty, you better look the part too, right? ]

Haha, fancy walks?
[ She makes an attempt to talk 'fancy', having a straight back and looking as if she's proud of herself. It doesn't last for very long because Lena feels herself cracking up. ]
I could never live like that. [ Even if it might be easier in the long run. ]
