"I appreciate your vote of confidence." Ignis replied. Okay so he felt just a little bit smug about that.
The smugness was gone, replaced by concern. With years of being next to the king, he'd learned the other's moods and mannerisms, and so green eyes blinked as he carefully studied the other. He waited to hear joy or see those eyes light up at the news and none of that happened. Ignis himself could've been knocked over with a feather at being stunned at the reaction he did get. Though to be fair his own congratulations with hearing about Noct's own engagement had been wooden.
Then there was the part about Gladio and Prompto, and again it fell flat. He couldn't tell the king that Prompto seemed to have a thing for him as Lady Lunafreya's death still had to be weighing heavily on his mind still. But in due time without a kingdom to worry over, surely fate would deal that hand, and this time it would be something positive.
Prompto was what the king needed, someone bubbly and light hearted. They were close in age and had a lot in common. How Gladio might deal with that would be key though, but in any case none of that was his to talk about even if he had spoiled the bit about their relationship. Ignis couldn't hold a candle to someone like that.
"You don't sound happy Noct." There was a lot of concern in the advisor's tone as the king found a bench to sit on. He moved a few steps closer and dared to sit on the other side of the bench. "And I suppose I've missed a lot with being here."
