Noctis tried not to wince. It's not as if he tried to find trouble - but it's also unfair to say that trouble usually found him? He had a habit of wanting to help others out, and that's how he usually ran into troubles, ninety percent of the time. Of course, with the empire dropping MTs on top of him all the time ...

And the whole, covenant thing ...

"I'll try to keep my head down, but," Noctis figured he should at least be honest, "if there's going to be people who need a hand, I can't just sit around. Even if I don't want to be here, it's not their fault I was abducted."
