Not dote on Noct, Ignis didn't know how to even do that. After now seventeen years of doing nothing but that, he was being asked to do something foreign. Sure it was easy not to do so when someone wasn't there, but maybe it would be easier since he'd realized how one sided things were back home. "I will see what I can do." The tone was soft but there was a forced business like quality to it. Maybe the king wanted him to let go and that..he could deal with his feelings about that alone later.

Rule, no worrying Noct.

There was a sympathetic nod at what the other had gone through but he had to say something. "I hardly believe that would be the case with them. But I'm sure all of you will find your footing with each other here. And if you'd like, we can go find them so all of you can spend time together."

Which left him out but maybe that was best.
