"Shoulda thought about that before you gave me a godsdamned heart attack." A huffy complaint that's not really genuine, just griping about something that wasn't really Noct's fault because he doesn't like being scared, dammit.

"You don't... have any clue who this guy was, do you?" He's resigned himself to it but he can't help asking. Maybe with a decent description, Nyx can figure it out? "And what'd it mean by the rope that decided on how to play?"

"Maybe then you can have some stew." Okay now he's just being an ass.
