After a long trek Noctis had finally reached home and wasted no time in taking a shower, changing his bandages and dressing in something he'd not been wearing in the equivalent of hell on earth for the past month and a half. He was, however, happy to see that not much had changed in his apartment and that someone had been paying his rent or something of the sort. Once everything was sorted out he grabbed his phone off of the kitchen wall and dialed Darla's number. As the phone rang he walked over to the couch in order to sit down, glad for the rest.

Her phone goes off and she jumps up, almost falling off the couch. She answers it without even opening her eyes, "Meh, eh... er... HAI! I swear to sleep I was not god... Erm, I mean I wasn't sleeping." I yawn. "Anyways, who is this?" And she flops back down onto the couch..........
Noctis's couch.

Noctis' brow furrowed as he heard an answering ring from his living room and wondered if Darla had left her phone in his apartment. Yet the answer moments later told him that Darla had never actually left the apartment, as he went through the door to the living room he found her bleary eyed on the couch. "It's the guy who owns the couch you're sleeping on." He said into the phone and smirked as he waited for her to put two and two together.

"Well... You aren't god because god doesn't have a sense of humor," She yawns and stretches. "And Noctie when up and poofed so you can't be him... Hmmm... Are you a ghost?"

Noctis smiled at the apparent fuzziness of her memory as he came up behind the couch while she stretched. In the moment of silence he reached out and tapped on her shoulder. "Well, 'Noctie' came back." He told her, speaking both into the phone as well as her.

She freezes before turning, slowly, and staring at him wide eyed. She then reaches out and gives his cheek a pinch, "You're real..." Her eyes widen and a for a moment they get teary before she's flinging her arms around him and pulling him close. "You're actually here! Noctis!"

He watched her freeze before she slowly turned as if afraid that he wouldn't actually be there. This was only enforced by her wide eyed stare and the pinching of his cheek as he turned off the phone he'd used to call her. This was only a moment before, to his surprise, he saw the tears well up in her eyes and she flung her arms around him. He winced slightly as it aggravated his injuries but didn't dare push her away, instead he wrapped his arms around her as well. "I'm here, I'm here." He told her quietly, reassuring himself just as much as he was reassuring her. It seemed so surreal that he would be home after such a long time in what felt like hell on earth.

This was it. This was real, after about what? A month of him missing he's come home. Finally. And all her worry, all her stress, all her anger melts away as she begins crying, "I missed you, I was so worried."

As she began crying he raised his hand to gently massage the back of her neck to soothe her. "I'm sorry I worried you, I missed you too." He told her as she cried, glad that he'd intended to call her first when he got back. She was more affected than he'd expected anyone to be but at the same time it made sense after all the time they'd spend around each other.

Shortly she stops her tears, pulling back from him, "Where were you? What happened? Was it your job? Or..." Darla is already sure its most likely the "or" due to the state Noctis's apartment had been in when she had shown up that first night. "... What happened, Noctis, please. Tell me."

As she pulled back from him he let her do so, he wasn't quite sure how to answer her question. The truth was pretty unbelievable all on its own and if she didn't know about his past already he was fairly sure he ran the risk of being laughed off. His red eyes looked elsewhere as he thought about what to say before he finally decided that one word would probably be all it took to make things click. "Hojo." He told her simply before going on to explain a little further. "He decided he wanted his project back."

"Hojo... HOJO? But I thought you guys killed him off?" Her eyes narrow. "And what did he do to you??"

"I thought we did too but apparently he's more slippery than we thought." Then came that dreaded question about what had been done to him. Now that was something he was nervous about, he highly doubted that she'd want him to leave her alone but to go from human to part demon was still a little nerve-wracking. He pointed towards his eyes which had yet to go back to being their normal dark blue colour. "He injected me with demon blood, he wanted to make me into a Halfer."

She blinks and then sits back, patting the couch next to her, "I'm sorry."

Noctis followed her direction and sat beside her on the couch. "It's fine, it just takes getting used to. My memory's still a little fuzzy so I can't remember all of the details. Not that I really want to." He said before he looked at her with concern. "Are you alright?" He asked, he hadn't expected her to be this calm and he more than suspected she was just keeping it bottled up.
