( You really should have, Ignis, you're smarter than this.
She smiles softly as he doesn't immediately discount the idea, victory in her books. Even if it comes with a sigh and she's sure he's more polite about it than he might want to be.
There's the sound of the door being opened and she gently pulls him inside. And if his thoughts had taken a turn to the idea of a weak point, hers weren't far behind. The group as a collective whole, and then Ignis himself. That they'd gotten under her skin somewhere along the line was still somewhat of a surprise even to her. She's done well to carefully craft a persona over the years, one that seemed devoid of any personal attachments, loyalty to the highest bidder more often than not over any particular cause. One she herself sometimes has trouble separating from the woman she actually was. The one who was more than capable of emotions despite what some might think, of forming bonds and attachments.
However what she feels right then for Ignis, is something else. Something she hasn’t given much thought to for years now. And she’s trying not to put too much stock in it. They were… friends in some strange turn of the word, it was only natural to be concerned.
She huffs a small laugh at his words, a vocal reaction to make up for the lack of being able to see her expression. ) Well, someone’s gotta look out for you. ( Her tone is light, despite the situation, teasing as she tugs him towards the bed. ) And don’t worry, I’ll be sure to find a way for you to make it up to me. ( She adds, instead of pointing out that he indeed deserved it and so much more in all honesty. )
