[Ignis licks his lips, wincing as he feels the scar there. He knew Noctis will answer as such, of course he would.]
I'm sorry, I didn't... we didn't want to leave you alone.
[He promised when Insomnia fell, that he won't leave Noctis. That he'll stay by his side, no matter what and Ignis wanted to keep that promise to the very end. But the moment he had to put on the ring he realized he may not be able to. The apology feels weak, it feels unworthy. It's not exactly what he wanted to say. What a mess he wonders.
He also wonders what he'd do if he wasn't injured. He'd probably go to Noctis, he'd have stayed by his bed, day and night, barely eating, barely listening to anyone. And right now, he'd hold him, make him food, usher him back to bed, update him on the news and when they can leave for the train. All those things. But instead of all that he's just making up excuses for Gladio and Prompto and himself, just awkwardly standing around in a hotel hallway, not feeling worthy enough to get closer to Noctis.
But Ignis still wants to reach out to him. To comfort him, to feel him, to try and calm him down. And himself too in the process. To just hold on a little... to just calm down too. Not as a retainer, advisor, but as a person who had a bit of a scare.]

Would you like to go after the others?
