[ooc: Just as an FYI, I'll be gone Wed-Sunday at a LARP, so I'll be MIA until then! ^_^]
Ignis can't see what Gladio can, the changes in Prompto's face as Ignis speaks. At first, there's a certain kind of anger, set in the pinch of his brows and the narrowing of his eyes, something he's not used to seeing in Prompto and enough to startle him, but it doesn't last long. It turns into something that might be surprise, he's not entirely certain, before melting into a tight-lipped understanding.
Gladio has been friends with Ignis for far, far too long to not pick up on the fact Ignis is trying to get their softer-hearted friend out of this place, and even if it means he needs to stay behind as guard, he will. "Oi, Gladio is standing right here," in a half-joke at the crack at his driving. "...go ahead with him, Prompto. Besides, I know the Citadel. I can try to get some things together here."
"It'll be more than a day," Prompto finally says into the silence that follows, waiting for his own decision. "We can't leave Gladio alone here for that long."
He doesn't need to say that he doesn't mean Gladio as much as Noctis, but Gladio's added into that as well. None of them deserve to remain silent in this-
I should be proud of him.
It's the thought Gladio has after what comes next, because Prompto has his gun out faster than he can even turn, aimed and ready, when a familiar voice speaks up.
