There's a small smile and the advisor let out another breath of relief. She surprised him, looking as happy as she was and not being upset about the whole thing. He'd tried a few times to come up with a way to broach this topic on the train but there never seemed to be a 'right' time. Madoka would be playing with her friends or just doing her own thing or Ignis would be wrapped up in something and didn't get a chance to talk to her.

Well now here it was in the open, at least his part. Shaking his head at her trying to figure this out, there was another small smile. "You may certainly take your time and decide what you would like to call me." Ignis said with a nod. After all, Madoka's comfort levels came first.

He let go of her hands and wanted to hug her but wasn't sure that was okay so he held back. Tony wouldn't hesitate but that was who that man was. This was just odd. Who knew that the aloof polite advisor would find a daughter here on a train...or a man who loved him and the same girl as well.

"I must warn you though." Ignis said, getting up, trying to keep his tone light. "Tony and I had spoken of adopting you." "But I know you love and miss your family, so there's no cause for concern." He wasn't sure he should say something with this delicate situation, but in case it was mentioned to Madoka, he didn't want her to find out from anyone else before himself.

Lying or omitting wasn't something he wanted to do.
