[Internally, Ignis curses at himself. He hadn't meant to upset Prompto; he'd just wanted to be honest. He should have known that being honest with his emotions was a stupid thing to do. What had it ever gained him?

The words 'It's okay. I'll be fine,' are halfway out of his mouth when Prompto is...well, Prompto. He hits his target without even trying, only meaning well, but sending a bolt of pain through Ignis nonetheless. Hearing Nyx's name in the context of this discussion so soon after he was sent away...

It's just too much. Especially when he had never had the time to properly mourn his friend to begin with.

Ignis' fingers dig into his legs hard enough to bruise though he doesn't feel it as he tucks his chin nearly to his chest in a vain effort to hide the tears gathering in his eyes.]


H-he was here for a short time. He's earned his rest.

[It's unimaginably selfish of Ignis to wish for more.]
