It's a difficult thing to bring up.

[But Kate's thoughts would be right. That Ignis' attention often moves elsewhere has been good for him in many ways, even if it often (inevitably) strays back to Noctis now that the young man is here.]

But you're right. It may not be a bad thing at all.

Being drunk helps.

( .......... K a t e. )

[She can't hear it, but he does laugh at that.]

How is it that you always know just what to say?

[dedikated]

( Good. )

Good with people.

( ... well, she might have been. Once upon a time. In another world, another life where she didn't lose her parents quite so brutally or so young. )

[claritatis]

I suppose you're not terrible.

[Ignis has a slightly higher opinion of Kate's people skills than Kate does.]

[dedikated]

No need for flattery.

( But thanks, she guesses. )

[claritatis]

Did you want company?

[Since, you know, you're texting him at 1am.]

( While she wouldn't say no, just how much time does it take to get anywhere in Hadriel now? Even Kate can't make her way across the city as easily as she used to thanks to all the water. )

Tomorrow.
