It's a little surprising to her to see him struggling like that to say something. Madoka really can't help but wonder what it is that he wants to say - she's never seen him before. At most she's seen him slightly surprised before, but now he looks like he's having some real difficulty with something..

But Madoka is patient enough wait until he can speak up. She stares at him with a curious gaze until Ignis speaks up. And then he does, and she's about to thank him for his first words with a smile--

Until the last part comes. The blush on her cheeks instantly spreads to her entire face, because that's just about the last thing she expected him to say. He sees her as a daughter. Ignis does? But he's so cool and mature and capable and amazing, how could he think that about her when she's nothing special at all? But despite about a thousand 'why' questions popping up in Madoka's head in a second, she doesn't dare to voice any of them. Wouldn't that be such a super rude thing to do when Ignis seems to have made a lot of effort to be able to say that?

"T.. Then.."

She starts, and then stops again for a moment, like she's carefully considering her words.

"Do you see yourself.. as a parent..?"
