[She is getting even more confused about this, from his guesses, but she still wants to pretend that she kind of knows what moe means. Even if she actually doesn't.]

Sure, let's go with that.

What's up, Noctis? Do you normally randomly text people?

Sometimes. Not a whole lot to do compared to what I'm used to. Might as well spend it on the network.

[ #millennial ]

That's kind of sad. [Not that her free time is spent in any more of an interesting way either. Speaking of which:]

How's your training going?

Finding this place fun to run around in would probably be sadder. Training's good though, I'm not one of the ones having a bad time. Are you?

It's not that exciting, but it's better than trying to hit up strangers.

I'm all about the training, just making sure you're keeping up. It'd be disappointing if you weren't.

Are you ever going to tell me who you actually are? This is a lot of judgement from a stranger.

Not even a guess? That's not fun at all.

[ ... ]

Kruger?

Who the hell is Kruger? But nope.

I can't believe anyone who's actually met me doesn't even know me. Feels bad.

Shinobu?

[She considers denying again, but figures that'd lead to more trouble later, than what it was worth.]

Holy crap, you do remember me after all. Our daring escape wasn't for nothing after all.

Which

[ The dream. Of course. It all comes back to him in a rush after that accidentally-too-early text, not forgetting the details but rather half-convincing himself it hadn't been a shared experience, just like he has with the others. It's a little jarring to have it confirmed. ]

Was I supposed to forget? We hung out here on BASE too yk.

I dunno. You thought I was someone named Kruger, geez.

I'm aware, but it's pretty lame around here, when there's not training to do.

I was guessing, I have no idea what he texts like. Or what you text like. Except for now.

But it's still lame even with the training js.

You better hope this Kruger person is cool.

Training at least gets me a little closer to where I wanna be. Even if I do miss Asia sometimes.

He's super weird.

Is Asia a country on Earth?

Gee, thanks. [If she knew he was talking about her roommate, she'd probably actually be a little mad over the mistaken identity.]

Yeah. It's not where I originated from, but I had been there for most of my last few years before waking up here. As I'm sure you vividly remember.

I told you, idk how he texts. You're not half as weird as he is. At least not in bad ways, dw about it.

Yeah we don't have to go over it again....... Were you living there on your own?

Quit while you're still ahead.

You sure you don't wanna go over it again? But yeah. Granted, I had been living alone for a while in the US too.

Did you live alone too, in Lucis?

[ Reading "Lucis" shouldn't be a surprise but it always is a little, somehow. ]

Kind of, it's complicated. Couldn't really do w/e I wanted but I had my own apartment for a couple years while I was in hs and after I graduated.

Because of the whole expectations thing, right? That blows.

I guess it wasn't all that glamorous for me either, when I was in high school. It was hard trying to keep up with multiple things at once. But, it was almost a little nice when I moved out of the country for a while. The freedom, at least, was amazing.

Yeah expectations.

What all were you doing in hs? You mean like training? I did that a lot too and started a long time ago.

Yeah, that can be a pretty heavy burden. Especially when you want to live up to the expectations.

Well, I was training up until I kinda lost the person I was learning from. My profession and studying to try to keep myself from failing school was enough to drive anyone nuts.

I'm the last person you have to tell that to trust me.

I hated studying too. There was too much going on anyway. You started your "profession" in hs though?
