Ignis can't help but grin in return when he hears the pride in Gladio's voice. The two of them always got along well and to know she's doing that good even under the worst of conditions is a load off his mind.

"Daemon Slayer, now is it? Did that come before or after she became a Behemoth Slayer?" He can't imagine how hard it must have been to allow her to go off and fight such deadly enemies on her own. It's not that he doubts her skill--Gladio himself would have seen to that--but she would have been the only family the Shield had left.

Well, until little Ollie came along that is.

"You know, I would pay a great deal to have the chance to witness her doing that. Noct needs someone to knock him down every so often."
