Neo than pulls her counterpart Everleigh back to the others, Ignis followed behind and they joined all together. At this point she was also still latched to Prompto, no questions asked and no thoughts attached either. Neo mainly and simply forgot about it. 

"Sooo you guys left us alone and what did you manage to do while being gone?" Neo asks towards the chocobros in hopes of a good answer from someone. "I thought I told you two on the note I left!!!!!" Gladio angrily states. "YOU JUST SAID YOU WENT OUT!! THAT WASN'T SPECIFIC!!" Everleigh spat back to Gladio, "AND not even to WHERE you went to!!!!" Gladious then looks straight faced to Everleigh and shrugs what she said off, "well in my defense we thought we were coming back to get you." Everleigh stared at him back with anger "You THOUGHT?!!! Neo and I are STARVING! We're THIRSTY! We ALMOST DIED! YOU SHOULD'VE SAID IN THE N O T E! HeY We'Ll bE BaCk! YOU LEFT US LIKE A DOLLAR TO SPEND! WE DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE CURRENCY HERE YET!" Everleigh let out all the pent up emotions that had accumulated that evening. Everyone was surprised at the outrage she had let out, causing them all to go quiet, even Neo, and, as almost done in que, both Neo and Everleighs stomachs growled in unison. which where very loud. The guys looked at the two starved girls. "Well..." Ignis spoke up "I suppose I shall cook a meal, considering you two could eat a village," Neo standing next to Everleigh gave her a nudge, "I suppose you could say that," Neo spoke implying something devious to her friend. Still slightly annoyed at Gladio's comments, Everleigh looked away from Neo and smiled slightly nudging her friend back, "Very well, let us go retrieve the ingredients than," Ignis stated to the group, the guys went along with it without question due to this being quite common for them. Neo  and Everleigh went along with it also however, they where curious as to what ingredients that where needed. "So what are you going to make then?" Everleigh asked as they all made their way to the market. Ignis smiled "You will see once, it's complete," That was all he said to her, Everleigh just nodded slightly flustered going back to the "safety" of her friend. As they continued to walk Everleigh noticed how close Prompto was to Neo, that was her first suspicion. Neo wasn't acting nervous or flustered which was very odd considering how nervous she would usually get around the bubbly blonde boy. Everleigh would then look at Prompto who was almost a complete mess, he looked as if he was struggling to keep his composure. That was her second suspicion, as they continued on she noticed how Neo wouldn't be moving her right arm as much while walking, in comparison Prompto wouldn't be moving his left arm as much, so with that Everleigh moved slightly slower than those two and saw that in fact, they where holding hands. Knowing how Neo is just mindlessly holding his hand, Everleigh ever so casually went closer to Neo and whispered. "I bet you wish you had something else in your hand," Neo was confused for moment as to why her friend would say that, then it hit. Neo suddenly became conscious to holding onto Promptos hand once more, she was unsure of whether she should let go or not she got really flustered and suddenly moving was awkward for her. Everleigh giggled softly to herself and continued on like nothing happened. Neo was than plotting how to get back at her pal. 

The market wasn't extremely far from where they all were, so they made it there rather quickly. Ignis told everyone he wouldn't be that long inside, so they all waited for him. He made his way in and out through the market and came out with both of his hands full of bags, which all contained food. "that was a nice short lived grab and go." Ignis said smiling, content with what items he bought inside. "It looks to me like you just bought the whole store out, Iggy." Noctis said nonchalantly. "ok so since you got your slice of happiness now is it possible to like- go to the hotel? And eat? and maybe fastly??" Prompto jitters out still not wanting to pull away nor having the chance to from Neo, by now about to just accept his fate. Gladio takes into notice and chuckles at the sight, then goes back to acting like nothing happened before Prompto came to be stubborn. "Ok ok we will go now, Prompto, we shall feed these two poor women before the hunger ravishes their minds as well." Ignis states. Everleigh and Neo look dead at each other both thinking the same thing, very, very out of context.
