[Ignis has told her he's going to go blind. What he hasn't told her is that the reason behind it will be something that he does to try and protect Noctis. Now feels a poor time to bring that up, and besides, the thought of it flees from his mind entirely when she puts her arms around him.
There's no resistance to it. There has only been one time when he pushed her away and he doesn't want to have to make a repeat of it. So, he brings his arms up around her in turn and draws her in close to him, almost able to feel the thud of her heart against his chest.
He realises he can't tell her he won't stop trying, even if she isn't going to ask. He can't, because it goes against every instinct honed in him for the last sixteen years of his life. He can't, when he knows without even giving it a second thought that he'd give up so much to keep Noctis safe. That he will give up so much to keep him safe.]
I'll be careful. [That much, he can say. It's still not quite a promise, but it's a something as he runs one hand over her hair and realises that as much as he doesn't want to allow anything to happen to Noctis--...]
... I don't want... I don't want to hurt you, while I'm trying to save him.
weh
