The dark cloud raining earned the tiniest laugh out of Ignis but he knew when Gladio got into these moods it was no laughing matter. Back home he could go off on his own or go hiking or camping but here...that was a little bit different. There was no 'out doors' that the Shield could go hiding in or work his thoughts out. That was the trouble with trains. Outdoors you could go for miles and think. This place wasn't offering the other man anything of that solace or space.

"It's never dumb to request help." There was the gentlest admonishment in the advisor's words when he said that, although he knew he was being hypocritical. He smiled though when he'd felt Gladio lean against him. It reminded him of their time in the luggage carriage where it was just them.

Like now.

He shifted a little but didn't try to pull away. "Maybe talking things out would help instead of keeping it locked inside?"
