And, no, your Highness, this doesn't mean I will be too busy to make sure you eat your vegetables.

[The strength of the Shield's reaction catches Ignis by surprise. He'd hoped that his friend's exhausted state might dull the pain a little. Of course, it couldn't be that easy.
Adrenaline does a lot to push back exhaustion and clear the mind, even if it does leave it all the fuzzier once it's run its course. Still, Ignis is glad that the shock clears his mind enough that he draws his hands straight back away from the wound instead of jolting into it and causing Gladio more pain.
Carefully, he sets aside the cloth and the bowl, bring a damp hand up to cradle the side of Gladio's face.]
Easy. I'll be quite cross with you if you give yourself a concussion on top of this.

Ah-huh [Meant to be an affirmative but perhaps to garbled for even that. What he does do, before he even realizes what he's doing, is turn his face into Ignis' hand, pressing into that comforting touch like a cat, tipping his head just enough to press a feather light kiss to his palm.]

Unconsciously, his thumb moves to trace lightly over the man's lips.]
I need to get back to work or we'll be here all day. Be good for me.
[Ignis pulls his hand away then, so he can return to cleaning and bandaging Gladio's wound. However, before he goes, he does pause to press a gentle kiss to the corner of the Shield's mouth.]

Always...
[Be here for him, be good for him, be whatever Iggy needs. Always.
And before he's even done bandaging Gladio is drifting, barely aware of what's going on and mostly asleep. He'll move if prodded but getting a coherent response out of him isn't going to happen for hours yet.]
