Gladio nodded, it sounded about right. Just talk about chocobo's, put a positive spin on it all. No need to bother anyone with the little details.

"It's beautiful there... But dangerous." Gladio stepped through the door and continued their walk through toward the kitchen. "We'd left home, the four of us, to take Noct to meet this Princess. They were supposed to get married. Not long after that... our city was destroyed." Gladio took a deep breath and sighed, frowning deeply. "There was supposed to be peace talks. But it was all a ploy to get beyond the city's shields. After that... we were less travelling and more on the run. Everywhere we turned they'd be there, hounding us..."

"As beautiful as our world is, it's not without it's problems. An enemy nation slowly trying to take over the world. My city, Insomnia, was the last one standing against them. And with us running around with the King... they needed him." But he'd left for the train before the real chaos started. He didn't see the things the others had. Ardyn. Altissia. Luna's death.

"It's weird, isn't it? For all the dangers, if someone offered me a way back home, I'd probably take it." Because he missed it. He missed his sister. He missed not being trapped in a tin can. Gladio's lips quirked into a smile then. "Point I#m getting at is, after leaving home, camping was a way of life then. It was our only home. Stopped being a hobby and more a necessity." Aside from the times when they were so damn tired they'd fork out for a motel. But with money tight, it had been camping most of the time. "Between fighting for our lifes, there wasn't much time to enjoy things... Even Noct's fishing stopped being for fun, he fished so we ate that night."
