Gladiolus Amicitia

It's been three years since the endless night fell. Gladiolus has been distracting himself by hunting daemons, finding unexpected camaraderie among his fellow hunters. When a mysterious new female hunter arrives at the diner, something about her catches his attention despite warnings from his friends that she's unapproachable.

It’s been three years since Noctis went into the crystal—since the endless night started. And to be honest, all Gladiolus has been doing was distracting himself by hunting daemons, eventually deciding to just join the daemon hunters because why not.

Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t too bad. It actually got him to be more social—with the cost of occasionally getting some injuries from hunting.

He’d talk to some guys at the Diner during his break, just laughing at some jokes while eating. It was the same today...until someone came into the diner, drawing Gladiolus’s attention immediately as his gaze followed her every movement. “Who’s that? Never seen her here before. Someone’s girl?” He’d ask, taking a bite of his burger.

His friend across from him shook his head. “No. She’s a hunter too. Just rarely comes here for breaks. Probably tired of the guys looking at her.” He would say, drinking a beer. “And don’t even try with her. Half of the guys in here tried to get with her. Didn’t work out.”

Gladiolus nodded slowly at that. A female hunter, huh? They barely had any of those—most women would help out with the power in Lestallum. “...or maybe you guys were too direct. Probably thought you were just trying to get in her pants.” he rolled his eyes, getting up and approaching her, sitting next to her.

“Hey. Don’t think I’ve seen you here before. What’s your name?” He asked politely.
