[At some point in time, a package shows up at Caleb's house. The scrawled note on it is in Noctis's handwriting: Happy birthday! I don't know what it looked like so I did my best artistic interpretation. Love, Noct.
What's it?
Well. It is a model train set, but carefully painted, by someone who has experience with painting miniatures and cosplay armor, with a cosmic aesthetic. Stars dot the black exterior, with planets of varying colors, shooting stars, and the occasional UFO. It's nowhere close to what the actual Astral Express looked like, but Noctis was working off limited information here, all he knew was "space train traveling among the stars" so he went with it.
Also accompanying the gift is...a picture of Regis and a younger Caleb, triumphantly standing by a newly-assembled tent. Noctis's note reads: I found this while rummaging around my closet. I'd forgotten I'd taken the picture. He was proud of you then, and he'd be proud of you now.]

[Noctis gets a photo of the train set set up in Caleb's room, near his desk. The photo sits with the singular other photo he has, one of him and Noct the summer of Noct's last year of high school.
Would Regis be proud of him? He's not so sure. But he won't tell Noct that.]

Hey!
[He does not mind the Delcatty!! He just offers a hand for the Normal-type to investigate.
But yes, to the living room. Josuke will go ahead and take a seat once they've gotten there.]

Oh! Soda's fine for me, too, thanks.
[He grins a little at the Dewott before turning his attention to Caleb.]
I think I told you a little about POKEGO before, but I think that conversation went a little far afield...
