[When he feels Gladio's smile against his fingers, an empty part of Ignis fills for the first time in a long while. There is so much he can't do right now to ease the pain in his friend's heart, but at least there is this.
Ignis' smile gradually fades into surprise and confusion--perhaps even a little disbelief as well--as Gladio leaves him just enough time to ponder Ollie's full name. Honestly, he has a hard time imagining any of them settling down and having a family with the Prophecy still hanging over their heads. Yet, at the same time, ten years of constant fighting with death around every corner changes people in a lot of ways.
When Gladio finally lets him off the hook and explains who Ollie actually is, Ignis' smile returns though it's still tinged with surprise.]
Gotten old enough that you're starting to let Iris beat you in things now, are you? [Okay, he needs a few more moments to process this. One of his patented terrible jokes will just have to do for now.]
