She can definitely pick up on that emotion in his voice. It'd be hard not to, considering how close the two of them are right now. And the moment she hears it, her grip becomes just the tiniest bit tighter, determined to not let go of him now.

Because.. in a strange way, it's like a slight relief. Of course she doesn't like the fact that Ignis is hurting. She doesn't ever want either of her dads to have to feel bad, no matter how unrealistic that expectation is with the way life is. But if her papa has to feel bad at all, she's at least glad that he can show it around her right now. Ignis is so proper, which is generally a good thing, and so withdrawn, which is generally slightly less good, but Madoka knows it must mean he has to keep these sort of things to himself a lot. It's just like Raven said to her.

But that shouldn't have to be the case. Sure, she may be young, and she may be his daughter, but she wants to be there for him at moments like these. Madoka gently nuzzles her head against his shoulder just a little bit, trying to be as much of a comfort as she can in this situation.

"It's okay, papa.." She makes sure to keep her voice soft, not wanting to startle him too much while he's so emotional. "I know things must feel really not okay right now, but they're going to be okay in the end, one way or another. I have faith in it.."
