Ignis is not sure if this will offer any sort of comfort, but it keeps Ignis' mind from wandering too far off and falling into despair. He has to remind himself to take it slowly, yet the searing pain of this moment plants rather pessimistic thoughts in his mind's eye.

Chocobos, huh? Black Royal. The one that stole his specs a long time ago and Ignis had Noct... help him retrieve them. "I am sure some of the chocobos found refuge in Lestallum. The people there have been growing food using the energy of the meteor. I am sure- there will be some there." He tries to sound as confident as he can but the truth is that he won't be sure until the go and witness it themselves.

It would mean leaving the Citadel but, without Noct, this place is hollow. Ignis wouldn't mind leaving it behind.
