[ Ignis might not have landed a hit with his daggers, but his fists do when Noctis is too stunned to react, knocking the young king back. It's careless, but when Ignis says the one thing he's once said of Noctis himself, it, more than the punch, sends him reeling. ]
Ignis...
[ No. No, he has to keep it together. He'll get him back, he has to -- he's seen what happened to the people Ardyn uses like toys, Ravus the most vivid example, and the thought of Ignis becoming like him one day is something too terrible to contemplate. His heart clenching painfully as he staggers back, he keeps talking.
Who cares if he ends up marking his position for Ignis to follow and strike? Who cares when the person he loves most in the world is ensnared in his enemy's grip? His love for Noctis, manipulated and redirected, stolen by Ardyn. He grits his teeth and lunges towards him, hand to hand this time. ]
He's the one who will destroy the world. [ Plaintive, beseeching, because his heart is breaking and Ignis is everything, and he has to restore him if that's the last thing he does. ] Iggy, please. Please, you need to wake up. Come back to me.
