Prompto thought he'd been scared before. Between all the times they nearly got squashed by giant snakes and had MT dropships stalking them, he figured that hey, he was starting to get a handle on the adrenaline spiking with fear and his heart jumping in his throat.
That was before Ardyn picked him up. Now he knows better.
"I saw the knife go in! He just stood there and laughed!" Prompto's throat clenches as he swallows and he wishes he was making this all up. Problem is, he'd been lucid all the way for that one and he knows what he saw, had it seared into his mind's eye as he replayed it over and over, trying to figure out if there was anything he could've done differently even as he was dragged back to the rack. "He even told me to have a second shot because we're 'friends'."
And he hadn't missed that time, either. Hard to when Ardyn grabbed his hand and guided the knife to his throat and they did it together, basically, and instead of red blood, something thick and black had sprayed out while Ardyn kept smirking. Somehow he doubts Gladio will have much better luck even if he has a giantass sword over a tiny knife.
