Ardyn let out a huff of laughter, giving the other a look of sheer amusement as he slowly walked closer.

"What am I doing? Even magitek need adjustments here and there, especially those of a more delicate nature such as yourself," he explained, a hand falling from behind his back so that he could wave it a bit. "You have been doing so well up until this point, Prompto, but there are just a few more things that I need to do before you'll be at your full potential. We wouldn't want to disappoint his highness, would we?"

The grin that had yet to faltered sharpened as he reached out with the hand he had waved about for emphasis giving a slight tug on one of the wire sets coming out of Prompto's abdomen and oh yes those were definitely connected to something.

"You have to be perfect for the finale."
