He smiled at Tony with the questions. "I've been called a mother before by Noct..or rather asked." It put their relationship at odd angles but the advisor had shrugged them off.

With the curious expression on his hero's face, Ignis shook his head. "It's the whole saving the world thing. And I highly doubt this cat of hers has a hand in her fate back home since she said her pact has to come from someone else there. He may protect her here and that's a bonus for her and us if that's what he does." If there were any deviations, it would be taken care of and so the advisor didn't worry about it. He simply wasn't one to threaten or rattle cages unlike Tony.

Ignis lightly laughed. "I'm not worried about being a favourite. Time will tell us which way this is going and if we need to take care of things, we will." He then leaned in for a brief kiss but then pulled back. "But I have to ask, are you alright?"

Don't think he didn't notice the non answer there Tony.
