[ Noctis scrunches his nose in agreement-- He's not exactly a huge fan of the gun either, but it had/has a purpose, he guesses. Noctis turns in to the parking lot of the restaurant. ]
It's... Unloaded, I guess?
[ He's buying the guy a gun safe. There's just no way he'll settle with that thing rattling around in his best friend's backpack like that.
He parks the car, taking a second to find the answer to Rosalind's question. ]
Actually?
... Yeah. But it's sort of overridden by that other memory with the Crystal.
I didn't get a good feeling about it. It seemed... I don't know, critical? I might as well have been touching a bomb strong enough to detonate the world or something.
[She nods. She can understand that feeling, god knows: not because she's seen anyone in her memories, but because she's been caught up in a confusion of grief and fear for the man she keeps seeing within them.]
Come on.
[She has no answer for his question, and so she nods towards the restaurant.]

[ Yeah, probably best to deviate away from the bad thoughts. That's been a challenge since Rosalind reached out to him. Noctis wears a weak little smile for her, nodding in turn as he unbuckles his seat belt. ]
Deal.
[ Except, he's going to do the bare minimum and order something that he can pick the vegetables out of. Don't underestimate the extent of his aversion.

[Good grief. Rosalind pulls a face, not particularly pleased by that thought.]
. . . well. Guns and swords aside: is it any comfort to have seen him in your memories?
[It's an honest question. She doesn't know if she'd be terrified or relieved to see, say, Fawkes with her other self.]

So what happens to him, then? You know?
