( The setting is different from anything Noctis has ever known. Coming from a more advanced city, the older houses and strange dress stand out. The night-themed prince walked among the people, earning glances for his dress, but he can also tell they know he doesn't belong. He draws too much attention, something he's accustomed to in his home city, but not in strange locations.
When they begin to approach him, he accepts their gifts with slight but hidden confusion. The prince isn't the most socially inadept, and the foreign land only further confuses his senses. )
Huh? Is this supposed to be for daemons?
( Why are they passing these out casually? Noctis does try to ask -- 'hey, what is this supposed to mean?', but they all continue to look at him with knowing eyes, only Noctis doesn't know the same secret they seem to want to share with him without actually acknowledging it out loud. )

( The pain is horrific. It blinds Noctis in a way that has nothing to do with his vision. So much blood pours from his broken skin that his shirt clings to his body, and he has trouble deciding where the wounds had really appeared. There are no potions, no chance to use healing magic, and the result is horribly, horribly painful. If it had started in the small house he'd taken for a residence, he could have more time to think, but the first of the spikes burst through his flesh and the cloth of his shirt in the crowded city of Bavan, bringing him to his feet in an instant as the other changes begin to twist his skin and bones. Enough people had warned him of the changes that Noctis has no reason to question what is happening, but knowing the reason for his agony does little to decrease the intensity. )
