"I can sleep forever," Gladio half-joked, but it honestly felt like he could at this point. "Kind of enjoy getting the chance to be awake and talk and not be completely out of the loop." His fingers crept up to where the chimera had stung him, feeling bandages wrapped around him. However, he also was well aware this might have been Ignis trying to back himself out. "If you want to go, go ahead."
