Ignis didn't want to ask Gladio if he'd prefer Iris be here, but there was a chance she would show up. Obviously the other was suffering enough without his questions adding onto it. "I appreciate your kind words. But I'm afraid it's the risk we all take in forming connections here."

There was a sad sort of smile. "I wish it could go both ways, to bring home who and what we have here. Maybe some hoe we'll find that too."
