( Something that's better than nothing, better than sitting here getting drunker by the second, and gods he wishes Ignis wasn't blind right now, that they could settle this outburst with fists and simple anger.

(Of course, then they wouldn't be having this argument in the first place.)

Breathe. He has to breathe. Facing the Blademaster taught him to deal with his fear, but never his anger. Never the thing that was most useful as the Shield of the future King, the thing he could sharpen and wield as the personal defence of their royal family. He used it when Noctis freaked out, and when he shut down after Altissia, and look where that got him.

They lost Prompto, and then they lost Noctis.

And now he's about to lose Ignis if he doesn't figure out what to do. Something that isn't just screaming at each other until their throats are raw, that does something about the stumbling in his speech and the brittleness behind the anger, like--

The very thing he had to learn to shrug off to be a better Shield. The reason he travelled to the trials with Cor instead of stick with the group.

He's a fucking idiot for not seeing it sooner, and Gladio pushes himself off the chair, crossing around the width of the table easily and loudly enough to be heard, his fingers brushing the back of Ignis' hand before- )

Hey...

( It's quiet and soft before his arm wraps around Ignis in a gentle hug, something easy to escape if he wants. )
