Ignis did his best to sound sure. To his own ears, he did. There'd been the briefest hesitation there, but he reminded himself that Gladio was a much a victim of this situation as he was. Perhaps on a different level, but a victim all the same. He couldn't deny a flicker of fear when he thought about facing off against Gladio again, but fear was something to be understood and controlled and Ignis was all about control. He had to be.
There was a sigh of relief at Cor's words. The last thing that Noct needed to know was the truth. Prompto either. They would be better off not knowing what had happened. It would worry both of them too much and worry was something that Ignis should deal with, not the young king and his closest friend. Let this ride on his shoulders alone. He could handle it.
"... I appreciate that, Marshal. Just... one thing. A question. Are you certain that Gladiolus- without a doubt? I still can't remember most of the attack."
