[ the surprise is evident on ignis' face, which makes nyx tilt his head a little. ]

He's been running the Glaives out of Lestallum after the sun went away. Said that Lunafreya died in Altissia and the Prince disappeared soon after, but Cor told him that he'd return.

[ he repeats it pretty rote, as if he's expecting ignis to know this bit. ]
warpspammer: (and that's fucking bitching)

[personal profile] warpspammer 2021-01-23 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Considering Nyx himself should be dead but isn't, it's at least not something that's too confusing on his end, that Ignis might not know. ]

They're loyal to Noctis. That's what Libertus said, at least. At some point, his and the other recruits magic returned as well. I guess the Marshal is heading the reformation effort.

philoxenia: (i'm all about you)

[ from here. ]

Well... we do have quite a lot of time to get used to things, I suppose.

[ She pauses. She might hesitate to talk about herself, but... she can be vague about it, right? ]

Honestly, I'm... not quite used to having so much time on my hands.
philoxenia: (when my mind's a mess)

[personal profile] philoxenia 2021-01-23 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't think anything of it, really. It's just how things have to be. And now she has to edit--she's not about to go being completely honest, but she's also a terrible liar, so... ]

My friend and I, we-- we've been on the road together on... business. For some time. We have something important to do, and... well, we can't really afford to slack, otherwise it could mean a lot of trouble not only for us, but... for a lot of other people.

[ She speaks carefully, because she's trying to decide what she feels comfortable saying. And she doesn't realize it, but that sure sounds familiar, doesn't it, Ignis? ]

[ from here. ]

[There is something so uncomfortably yielding and honest about that sentiment—Not just any stranger. You.—for a moment he is lost in a response. Thus far, their conversation has traded allowances and answers one for the other, a balanced give-and-take with the awareness of vulnerability. Ignis shares how his prince is so important to him he would bring him to a strange and foreign world, how he's given his entire life in an expectation of duty; Itachi admits there is someone he would cross any line to protect but would not want them near him here, and that he's trained in violence since he was a child.

By comparison, cooking in his kitchen is no intimate task, although he wouldn't consider himself one of Ignis' companions.

And he isn't wrong. Even if it has been a long time since Itachi has killed anyone.]


If your prince arrived, I would know he is important to you. I have the information to determine his identity easily. There's something to gain from everything. [A low, quiet admission, eyes a dark brand on Ignis' handsome face.] Then again, my motives would have to be unnecessarily malicious toward you to take advantage of that.

[And he just paid for their tea date, so it's fair to guess: probably not evil.]

So you were the protector and advisor as well as the personal chef?

[Itachi gestures ahead, indicating that the other man take the lead in direction—and that he's accepting this offer.]
anbu: (weird mechanical mistakes)

[personal profile] anbu 2021-01-21 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[When the threat against Ignis' prince doesn't earn the offense he's expecting, his lips pull in a subtle frown as he's forced to reevaluate his decision to move forward, to allow this interaction to continue and follow the other man to his home. A year ago, it never would have come this far. Assuming he had even entertained the conversation at the teahouse—unlikely—Itachi fought to keep immense, secretive distances between himself and everyone else.

Ignis claims he acts precisely and efficiently, yet here he is, pursuing an unnecessary companionship. The grim self-reflection distracts Itachi as they walk; it's only Ignis' voice that draws him out of the slump of his thoughts.

His expression is more difficult to read as he studies the other man.]


So the expectation is that you fulfill his every need. [Get a job and learn some responsibility, Noctis, come on.] … I've fared well enough. Perhaps better than others, given that arriving in another dimension isn't new to me now.

[Itachi’s gaze drifts away, ahead.]

Syncing feels similar to the principle of another world I visited. The emotional connection is significant as well, when it's successfully managed.

MESSES THAT HAIR UP

( from here )

[ Jeez, Ignis. If he hadn't just told Nao his occupation he would ask if he was a mind reader. ]

Not...nothing solid, except to move out. I haven't completely thought out what I wanted to do as a career so I'm just a part-timer at a restaurant right now. And you can't expect me to hear a job title like yours and not ask more about it! What do you mean? [ "Royal advisor" sounds way too fancy to be a simple retail job. Or club bouncer. ]

[ Prince. Kingdom. What? Not that those don't exist where he's from but...for real? Nao's obviously surprised, mostly in the sense that he's like, "oh shit am I talking to someone Super Important?" rather than a monarchy being a completely unknown thing to him. ]

U-uh, yeah! Though not all countries work the same way back home...different kinds of government, you know? [ Meanwhile, he's trying not to make a total ass of himself by asking dumb questions like ]

Is it a big kingdom?
