[It takes more effort to close the gate than it did to open it, less leverage, but it slots back into place. Distantly he can hear shouting echoing down the alley. Nyx shakes his head and turns away from it.
Danger over, concern is once again at the forefront of his mind as he realizes Prompto isn't breathing quite right. Unaware of the reason, he watches his progress to make sure he's not going to wobble. It hits him that he doesn't know all that much about his royal highness's friend. Did he have a health condition? Did Nyx push him too hard on the way here? Guilt curls ugly in his gut.
Maybe he should have found a different way. Risked a single warp to a rooftop or something. The weight of the dagger sheathed against his hip felt like an accusation.
The stairs open out a little at the bottom at another old door, hanging half open. Nyx stops Prompto before they go through, nudging him around to face him.]
Prompto. Look at me.
[His expression is pointedly serious as he places his free hand on Prompto's chest, feeling how little his lungs are drawing in, how fast he's breathing. If he can't figure out how to help...]
It's going to be okay. I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
