[ It's arguable that Noctis might be of more assistance elsewhere, but what has come to pass once-- especially tragedy --doesn't leave you feeling very free in wanting to test the will of fate when given a second chance.
Namely, the last conflict the young prince was not by his father's side was also his father's last. Another battle, and especially one that doesn't even involve the fate of their own people, is not one that Noctis is going to allow Regis to wander through alone... outside of Saladin's camp or in it.
He is mostly quiet, hood pulled up on his outer robes (looking at a little bit less like he's an alien in his street clothes), but he is alert and he is aware.
And he is perturbed by the overwhelming amount of slaughter that has occurred on both sides. So, when Regis asks for assistance, Noctis is quick to take on the task to distract his wandering senses.
It's only once he returns and has offered the clean water—complete with an additional unused cloth neatly folded over the edge of the bowl—that he says anything since they have approached this particular soldier.]
Is he going to die? [ Noctis's tone is rather callous considering someone's life is being discussed, but it's actually debatable if that is merely still a spoiled prince's attitude that lacks empathy towards others or he is putting up a wall to contain his shell-shock.
(after all, he is no stranger to almost dying—). ]
