"I see." It was the only thing he could think to say. After months of worrying about the king and how he'd personally failed Noct, it was a bit hard to hear these wonderful things without losing a bit of his usual stoic composure.

"Always." Ignis reaffirmed which made him smile. That was just like back home where Noct would ask if he had his back. And for him there would never be another answer other than the one he just gave.

As they had walked, true to his word the advisor grabbed freshly laundered blankets and a pillow. And now that they were in the secluded cabin, Ignis at once went to work on making a spot comfortable for the king. Green eyes looked over at the man after the question was asked and shook his head. "I was going to go out and finish up on the platform. Then I planned on coming back to check to see if you were hungry."

His eyes then studied Noct almost as if seeing him for the first time. "However, I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone after you just got here. You need time to both settle in and adjust." It went without saying of course that Ignis would be right there with him every step of the way until that happened.
