Glacius had been somewhat tense before, wary over his partner's discomfort and unsure about revealing himself in a form he's aware might be quite strange to some—but he bristles noticeably when Ignis moves to place himself in the way of his partner, his head cocking sharply to one side and his pupil thinning. It is clear he does not like anything getting between him and the cleric, and he probably likes it even less that Ignis presumes he might be the one who needs to be protected from.

Carlisle notices the protectiveness from the alien instead, though Glacius does not necessarily seem like he will be placated until he winds his way right up to the clergyman, brazenly moving past Ignis as he does so. "It is a lapse on my part... I was not aware that Kate even had found someone until recently. That her chosen is a member of the same organization to which I have pledged myself... my apologies, Ignis. My attention has been somewhat divided lately, as life in this cave is never simple."
