How do you think the chocobros raodtrip would be if there was a permanent female member of the group? I mean, mostly about pratical things like cramped space, having one bathroom most of the time, girl’s problems… how the guys would handle this?

Hi Anon, thanks for the ask!

• Fitting a fifth person into the Regalia is easy. Fitting them into the tent…not so much, unless there’s no separation inside. 
• They probably have the middle splitter wall up but unzipped, and only close it when people are changing. 
• To try to give their female guest more privacy, she gets to sleep next to a tent wall. 
• Bathrooms are an easy solution, too–they implement a strict “ladies first” policy when it’s an actual bathroom. 
• When it’s Day 4 of camping? Well, female party member better get used to going in the woods. 
• Assorted “girl problems” are handled in assorted ways.
• If their female party member menstruates, Noctis and Prompto are probably uncomfortable at first. Gladio is the most used to it (because sister), Ignis isn’t going to let something like that bother him…it’s not like they can help it. 
• However, realistically the stress of being hunted by the Imperials from pretty much the start might shut a menstrual cycle down.
• If her body could handle it, it would make the most sense for a female party member to go on continuous birth control and avoid a cycle at all while they’re on the run. 
• If she’s inclined to be an emotional peace-keeper, well…female party member’s life has gotten pretty hard and she probably breaks down once or twice.
• This, of course, makes the men feel terribly guilty. 
• And if she’s not inclined/conditioned for emotional labor? Ignis and Prompto’s lives have gotten a bit harder, with having to balance a 5rd temperament. 
• Female party member probably gets a lot of questions–how effective is Gladio’s flirting? Does Prompto really have a crush? Do they know how to get blood out of this shirt with the limited supplies they have? 
• And finally, the female party member better get used to their banter. Gladio doesn’t care if there’s a girl there, he’s not missing out on making a size joke while Noct’s fishing. 
• Unless said female party member is Iris, then that’s a whole other story.
