It's true, Noctis doesn't have much of a filter, although it's partially because back home he had nothing to hide - everyone in Lucis already knew all of his business anyway, so why bother filtering anything?
At that comment about knowledge and freedom, he scoffs. "Don't I know it. But destiny doesn't allow for freedom regardless, so I'd at least like to know how exactly it plans to use me."
Noctis has a vague idea of how that might sound if he looked at it in a certain light, but he doesn't care, either. "Huh. I'm jealous - I've been half-octopus a few times, but mine definitely don't hold my weight on land."
Noctis nods along with her until-- "Uh, I, *what?*" For a moment, he's mystified. It takes him a moment of staring at her, acutely aware of how close she is, before he puts it together. Once he does, he glances away. "Oh, uh...right, yeah, sure." He steers them away from the stall he was going to take them to - takoyaki is hard to feed someone and would probably be pretty tasteless besides, considering the whole octopus-wife thing. Speaking of--
"I'd...better pick a disguise first, though." Before he approaches a food stall and gets gnawed on by some giant, man-eating gerbil or whatever. With one of his hands forcibly occupied, he scrolls around on his phone with just one hand - he can't just ask Carbs to do it like Rose did, because he doesn't know what the options are. Eventually he goes with the ryujin, specifying that he'd like to have a humanoid hybrid form too, and soon enough he's grown horns, spines, a smattering of scales, and a long tail, all derived from what will be his full ryujin form.
"So, uh...what kind of food do you think is best for...y'know, this?"
