noctis helps by distracting him from it. no one else has tried to speak with syl, and kaladin's charmed by it in a way he hadn't expected to be. his expression, which had begun to cloud over, lightens with a resigned little smile.
it's... sweet. )
... Hey, you're acting a little too confident right now. Posturing in front of the lady?
Not that she hasn't watched me take a few licks training with the swordmaster. Let's see, she'd probably say something like... "Never mind how I feel about it, Noctis, just as long as Kaladin's finally having fun for once. Can you believe he didn't laugh when I put a rat in his boot? Oh, look, something shiny. Got to go!"
