[It has been a while since Ignis felt genuine fear, so he just stares at the device, willing himself not to give more "be careful" advises. He sounds like a goddamn broken record.]
Very well I will be in our room when you arrive. There are few croissants in the kitchen if you're hungry
Not in everything. I definitively can't fish. Or warp. Or nap as long as you do. Or have as much compassion as you do. Don't sell yourself short, darling.
[Yes, he hears and he's relieved. He's in bed, as promised, under the covers, but propped up against pillows, texting with Noct and waiting for him. He's in an unbuttoned shirt and sleeping pants, glasses resting on the side table. The device soon joins them and Ignis turns his head towards the door, expecting Noct to enter.]
[There's the smallest pause at the bottom of the stairs, where he slips off his boots and out of his jacket. So when the door finally clicks open and he enters, all he has to do is put his lantern down atop the near by dresser. Before sliding into the bed and lifting himself onto Ignis' lap in a straddle, hands reaching out to intertwine their fingers.]

Even advisers have to sleep sometimes

You can join me if you want
[He's in the living room with a notebook and pen, writing, while eating bagels with coffee.]

I still stand by that. However, sacrificing a night or two to go through these notes will be good in a long run
no subject
It has been longer than a night or two

I must have lost track of time.
How long?
no subject
Long enough
You know I can handle stuff while you rest, right?
no subject
But I have to put on paper everything I remember from that dream before it fades away
I don't want to miss crucial details
I want to get you, us, from this dark world. Soon, if possible. I promised that to myself
no subject
It's been six days
If you don't have it all out by now you never will
Just
Please rest
no subject
I'm sorry for worrying you, Noct
We never got any clues before about this place and suddenly there's an abundance of them
[He got a bit overwhelmed.]
Are you in our room?
no subject
But you're no good when you're exshauted Iggy
No matter how much coffee you drink
I can be
Give me twenty?
no subject
Be careful on your way over
Spirits ambushed the people that stayed awake. We don't know what else might happen
[He'll sleep calmer and better when he knows Noct is next to him and safe.]
no subject
Admit that more often
I'll be fine
I'm not afraid of them
no subject
Never less, never more
It is not about being afraid of them
But of them attacking in groups and attacking people by surprise.
It doesn't hurt to be on the guard.
no subject
You know I can take care of myself, right?
You and Gladio taught me well, Iggy

[Noct is used to it. Mostly. But this is on another level.]
Go
Rest
Royal order and all that
no subject
[Stop being cute Noct]
I will sleep peacefully when you arrive
Half an hour doesn't matter
[He'll probably be dozing on their bed though...]
no subject
[Not if it helps take your mind off things.]
You're also the most stubborn person I've ever met
And I know myself
no subject
I think we both match in stubbornness
And yet somehow get along
I suppose it's the years of knowing each other
no subject
Pretty sure you have me beat
You always were better at everything
no subject
Not in everything.
I definitively can't fish. Or warp. Or nap as long as you do. Or have as much compassion as you do.
Don't sell yourself short, darling.
no subject
[You hear that sound? It's the front door opening and Noct's quiet footsteps coming up the stairs.]
no subject
