[ Because here is the truth, Ignis: he will choose Ignis, every single damn time. Whatever choice is presented to him, himself or Ignis, he'll choose him. Ignis has given up so much for Noctis, devoted so much of his life to him -- Noctis knows all of it right to his bones.
Because of Noctis, Ignis hadn't had a normal childhood -- he was groomed for a special position since he was very young, and he had carried out all his duties without complaint, cared for and protected Noctis, became his friend and his closest confidant as the years passed.
How can Noctis abandon him now? He's crouching beside him, frowning. ]
If you ran away from me, I'd come after you every single time.
[ He says softly, a hand resting on his shoulder and squeezing. Ignis must be suffering, fighting against the wolf-like nature, struggling to keep himself here. ] I won't abandon you, either. So if you ask me to do that again, I'm going to have to punch you. Probably. Okay?
