Considering we had nowhere to call home after the Empire absolutely decimated it, yeah, we were trying to have a good time.
[it's all they could do, really, to keep from feeling the weight of what really had happened to insomnia, to what the rest of their journey meant--and, now, prompto wonders if they even knew what it meant at all, or if their ignorance really befuddled any solid ideas they might have had about it if they had not kept on with that stubborn optimism despite all the odds.]
[he stops v at one of the pictures, sitting down on the arm of the chair and reaching his hand over to point at the screen, stilling on a picture.]
That's a Naga, and it's what we call a daemon. That one spoke, which was unusual. They're usually in dark, cramped places, so obviously this one was inside a cave. [he presses on a few more pictures] And these are examples of the wildlife in Eos. They're Arbas, which are like -- cattle? Livestock? They mostly run wild. Pretty calm animals, to be fair.
Oh, that's Ravatogh in the background. It's a live volcano, and people say that that's Ifrit's resting place after he got taken out during the Astral War, or somethin'.
[some more pressing...]
Ah. These would be chocobos, which I guess are like giant chickens for you guys, and we ride them, kinda like horses? They're pretty reliable form of transportation out in the wild and when going off road. Y'could find some in the wild, but there's this ranch that breeds them and keeps them safe, what with the whole daemons coming out at night, y'know.
[prompto doesn't have to continue pressing for long anymore, rounding back to this picture. he seems hesitant for a moment, but ultimately pulls back, sitting with his arms crossed, one foot on the floor, the other crossed over the arm of the chair.]
Aside from daemons, we had the Empire's troops on our tails a lot. That's a Magitek trooper, MT for short, the best of what magic and science could put together. There's thousands of those.
