[ This is not normal. There is nothing normal about this, with Ignis sitting less than four feet away from him, dining like this happens every day instead of it being the first time they've actually spoken to each other. Granted, the latter half of that is largely on Noctis. He's watching him, still digesting the news and reeling from the truth of it. She had been unhappy, he knows -- Gods know that he's tried but he knows, too, that he hadn't tried hard enough, not when the reason for it is sitting across from him.
Ignis might have left him to learn how to say no to Noctis and to end whatever they had, but Noctis has no such luxury as the one left behind. ]
No, I didn't think she'd do it. [ But she would, he knows. They've been married almost two years, and it's a long time to get to know someone you're married to. ] All right. Does anyone else know yet?
[ Because this is going to be a nightmare. The Council is going to take him to task for it, fearful that the treaty and alliance will fall through. A part of him worries as well, unsure of how to take this. Should he make a bid for her to reconsider? Is this what's happening here? Ignis would have foreseen all the potential problems arising from this divorce, and Noctis looks to him. ] And the alliance?
