"That's..." Despite himself, Ignis let out a small breath, almost a laugh, though there was a bit more....frustration in it than humor. Not frustration at Shane, though, just the situation. For Shane, there was just an undeniable fondness, and a marveling bewilderment that he would think that was the issue. "...not exactly what I'm worried about..."
He was the one who had changed, after all, not Shane. Ignis was the one who was older now, more closed off and guarded than ever before. More aimless than he'd ever been in a life that had always been defined by clear, rigid direction...
"I just..." he tried, "...don't really know how to do this anymore. Truth be told, I don't think I was particularly good at it before, either, though."
