Ignis smiled and let Tony handle this. He had been on Madoka's side from the beginning and simply watched the scene unfold. The advisor knew this was hard on Tony too..and he wondered if this would've been hard on him back home had he been around to see Morgan grow up and become more independent. So in a way he got to see something Pepper never would, watching Tony having to admit his little girl was growing up and all he could do was be there. Even he who just got a chance at parenthood had to already let go. And that's when a line from a book he'd read here hit him.
'We raise our children to leave us.'
He wanted to hold Tony close to him and comfort him but that was for later. Seeing his hero struggle now with trying to shake this off was just endearing. His green eyes met brown and he nodded.
"One one condition."
When he sufficiently had everyone's attention his gaze looked right at Madoka. "I require a hug from our daughter for my services."
