Noctis isn't sure they'll make it as far as they're hoping to - which is the chocobo farm that's marked on the map. Hell, he'll count them lucky to make it to Hammerhead, which is just outside the city limits.

He knows it's a childish sort of idea - but he'd latched onto it regardless. To do something that wasn't training, or studying, or shadowing his father and watching the deepening lines on his face.

He already knows what he'll say when they get caught - that it was his idea, which is true, and that he strong-armed Prompto into helping, or that Prompto didn't want him to go alone. He'll make sure he takes the brunt of the punishment off his friend's shoulders no matter what.

In the meantime, he just grins back at Prompto.

"Iggy's always harping on me to get up earlier. So I just got up earlier than he did and snuck out the kitchen window," he says, before he reaches out, hooking an arm around Prompto's waist.

"Ready?" He waits for the assent before he's closing his eyes and summoning the sword he favors, throwing it at the wall - and warping through it, dragging Prompto through that realm between worlds.

They appear in the air, just past the other side, and it takes a quick moment of panic on Noctis' end before he throws the sword at the ground, warping them into a heap in the dirt.
