No, I'm trying to figure out what the hell you were talking about to see if there's some clue in the conversation to help me out.
Lau is definitely not any proper English word I know of, but knowing Prompto, that's not saying much.
[Look, just give him a little more. He's nearly thirty and even when he was Prompto's age (and Laurent's but let's not go there) he's not certain he ever spoke quite like that...]
[It doesn't seem the sort of thing that Laurent's fancy family would do, although perhaps maybe his brother might have called him something growing up? They're further enough apart in age, it's possible there's something.
He only just holds himself back from suggesting 'Lolo'.]
You know, the fact that you haven't denied it outright is vaguely suggestive that you do.
[It's Lolo, isn't it. Tell him it isn't Lolo.
Faolan's about to suggest that he could just message his brother and ask, but then. Well. There's a problem with that sort of thing these days, now, isn't there...]
[Considering you're usually the one teasing him, it's fun to reverse the roles a little. Faolan has to be careful not to push his luck here too far though. He's not quite sure he'd be able to tell where the line is when Laurent's actually mad at him or not...]
Indeed we do. Which means I have all the time in the world to come to my own conclusions at a later date.
[#sass]
Anyway, that's what I'd put my money on. You know how Prompto is. The fact that he's only used it once means he's probably already moved past it anyway. People have done far worse things with my name besides. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[ Obviously. ]

You and...?
[Perhaps the conversational partner will help him shed some light on the situation.]

[Of course.]
What exactly was the exchange of words between you then? Full sentences. Maybe screencap the conversation if it'll help?
no subject
Are you just stalling for time while you google this?

[Which is a far more simpler explanation, as far as Faolan is concerned.]
Did the rest of his message suggest that he was laughing at you?

And the nickname sort besides.
['Lau'.]

That doesn't mean that he might not use it regardless.

It's not like there are many other ways he might have shortened your name other than 'Lau'.
Though I suppose he could have called you 'Rent'.

I wouldn't tell you if I did.

I suppose I will wait and see if it comes up again in a different context.
