"I'm rather surprised you didn't request it." Ignis said after his daughter said she hadn't asked. And there was genuine surprise in his tone. He wondered if Madoka didn't because of what he was going through. It really was something she would pull he knew, but with the best intentions of course.
Hearing Madoka say she wasn't strong had her Papa shaking his blondish head before getting back down to her level. Hesitantly he reached a hand up to touch her face with his gloved hand. "You have strength too darling, yours is simply a gentler strength." He smiled, hoping he wouldn't show any tears here.
"It's sort of like your Dad and I. I think he's stronger in a lot of ways than I am." Ignis definitely now thought Tony stronger since he was the one who walked away with the ring. "But nothing is as strong as gentleness, and that is where your strength lies."
