Noct's not sure what the hell he expects from this man. (He never knows what to expect when the chancellor is involved.) So at first he just tilts his head, confused (again) but on guard just in case (as always). It takes a moment for him to backtrack from great one more person trying to tell me what I should and shouldn't do to Somnus?????.

"Som- Uh... The only Somnus I know is the Mystic and I'm sure as hell not him." No, he's the Last King, not the First. The thought alone makes him flinch slightly. "I'm surprised you're trying to help at all? Or are you out here just to fuck with people that are trying to keep the rest of safe?"

A mean accusation, maybe, but considering the faint lines that still scar his ribs... a valid one.
