"Don't you dare lie to me now, Gladiolus Amicitia!" There is a soft thud as Ignis' hand meets the sand at his side again, "Don't you dare hide behind those bloody walls and then act like I don't know exactly what you're doing. Not when I've bloody perfected that technique myself!"
Ignis pauses then to take a deep breath and calm himself. They've just started and he's angry. He doesn't want to be angry at Gladio. Anger won't get them anywhere.
"Perhaps I don't need to say anything in your opinion," when Ignis continues, his voice is much calmer and softer, "but that doesn't mean I feel the same way. You've opened yourself up so much. How do you expect me to not respond in kind? We're friends. Partners. We've done so much together. If I don't share my side with you now, what is to keep what happened at home from happening here? I can't let that happen, Gladio. I won't."
