The slow path his hands are taking gives Ignis ample opportunity to feel the way Gladio's heart races the longer his hands are on him, his breath catching and shivering out. He has to swallow thickly before he trusts himself to speak.

"Aches mostly, only stings a bit. Stood up too fast, I think but it didn't split." Just a consistent throbbing pain in his belly. It's all good.

Honestly he's hardly thinking of it now, not with Ignis in his lap and touching him like that. Not with the other's taste on his lips.
