Oh, Prompto... [Abel looks uncertain for a moment, but decides that if the situation were reversed he wouldn't mind too much. He rests his hand comfortingly on the center of Prompto's back and gently rubs a small circle. He saw the photos of Prompto's friends, he clearly misses them so much today of all days. Abel knows he would feel Cain's absence acutely if he were absent from Abel's birthday.]

You have friends here. I know most of these people seem to be more of Hideki's crowd than yours, but... we're friends, aren't we? [Kind of going out on a limb here, but he's doing his best to soothe Prompto in his moment of need.]

You want to hear about my twenty-first birthday? It was a lot like this, honestly. My father is an influential politician back on Earth, so I couldn't have anything close to a party with an open bar and music. The temptation to do something scandalous would be too great. [Abel smirks and rolls his eyes.] So my parents rented out a country club and hosted a party-- mostly consisting of politically influential families, donors, and they tried to pass them off as my friends. Horrible and embarrassing as it was, I just endured it.
