Ignis has a lot to learn about reading ice aliens, given that that Glacius' wariness here has been nearly entirely due to his concern over what others might think of him in this form. At least there's one person open-minded enough to not judge him for how he looks, and he's placing a hand on the front of the alien's body just underneath his neck now. Glacius looks at Carlisle, sucks in a little breath that makes his lithe, muscular body expand against the cleric's palm, then expels it in a little chuff as he shakes his head and nudges against his partner's face. Even to someone new to interpreting an ice alien's mannerisms, it is clear that he appreciates the contact.
"I wasn't apologizing for not butting into your personal affairs," Glacius clarifies, finally prying his attention away from Carlisle to cast a glance back at Ignis, "I was simple apologizing for never having properly introduced myself to another member of a cohort to which I am aligned. Perhaps if I had paid proper attention I could have surmised this all for myself, especially given the close relationship that I share with Kate, that Carlisle has noted. But—all is being amended now... though perhaps I should make a true introduction, now that I am being given the chance."
So the ice alien butts gently against Carlisle one more time before winding backwards from the cleric, rising up on his powerful coils as he does so—and then his form shimmers and simply drops, like a sheet of rain falling to the earth, reducing itself to a puddle in the blink of an eye. Just one more instant and Glacius has reverted to his true form, a towering, icy monolith of a humanoid with powerful limbs and jutting spikes taking form from the water... though those piercing, intelligent green eyes remain wholly unchanged.
The whole transformation is quick, smooth, graceful, and Glacius does seem more comfortable in this form than he was with being serpentine... though after remembering that this is a new face he's dealing with, he becomes a bit more tentative again. There's a moment of hesitation before he offers his frosty white hand, but at least he's managed to remember how humans like to greet each other.
