Didn't everyone think of their home as theirs? There were no other worlds like it. That was the one that held his childhood memories. His home and what was left of his family. And while he would feel unbridled joy at being able to see Iris again... Having her on the train would hurt. She would be trapped like the rest of them. He couldn't wish that on her no matter how much he would love to see her.

Gladio gave a low laugh and smiled where Ignis couldn't see it. "Yeah... them's the risks of falling in love, huh?" And he never thought that would happen. Not once but twice. Was he being greedy? Maybe... But how could he deny the feelings of the two men who cared for him?

"... Who says we'll ever get to go home though?" Gladio asked, his voice a little muffled. "What if we're here till we're old and gray? What if our reward isn't being sent home but being dropped off on some paradise world to live out the rest of our days? And what..." He lifted his head here. "... the hell does a Shield have to do to get a hug around here?" Dammit Ignis, can't you tell a guy in need? Hug him already! He has a sad that only a hug can cure.
