Panic and fear still thrummed through his veins and now, with Gladio standing so close, he felt bile rise up in the back of his throat. What he didn't notice was that he was slowly sinking back into the bed as if trying to make himself a smaller target, or disappear altogether.
It took Noct's question to pull his gaze away from Gladio, swallowing as he quietly pondered how he should answer. He certainly didn't feel okay and he figured he didn't look it and while he could lie with the best of them, he rarely did. It wasn't something he detested. Instead, he reached up to shove his hand through his hair in a mock effort to try and tidy it a bit.
"... of course. Such things are to be expected, after all. I apologize if I bothered either of you. Gladiolus, you should be back in bed. Both of you should be."
When it doubt, fall back on something you know. For Ignis, that would be mothering the group. It was something that was second nature to him, something easy and safe.
