(The title made me want to do an ignis pic titled 'in the nick of thyme')
i figure theyre videocalling the citadel
and Noct has a script he's supposed to be following
They had to hang up the first time and when the feed resumed Noct had a bloody nose
But he seems more obedient
Gladio quickly picks up teh way his eyes keep darting to t he side
'There's someone with him?'
Because Noct is too furious to be complying of his own volition
Noct is also giving clues
Maybe morse code blinks
