[Ravus takes a seat beside Ignis, leaving a foot of distance between them.]
You’ve a right to be worried. But remember, hope is not yet lost to us.
[They could go and begin a vain search to assuage their consciences and to keep themselves busy, but Ravus fears the panic that Ignis’ state could incite in the others. Ignis is always strong for Noctis, so privacy is the only remedy until Ignis can find his strength again. The walls of this room are a shield, until they can find the Shield they really need.
And yes, them, though the ‘us’ is not all that Gladio has expressed a desire for them to be. Ignis shares a history with Gladiolus, a closeness that Ravus cannot rival. If Ignis wanted Gladio to himself...Ravus would not want to bet on himself at those odds. In spite of that, he can’t begrudge Ignis his relationship with Gladio. He cares for Ignis too much for that.]
He’s given me his word to find his way back if we’re ever separated, and he’s hopelessly stalwart. If something dares keep him from us, there is no force on this star or any other that will keep us from finding it and destroying it. [And then finding increasingly inventive ways to punish Gladio for causing them so much worry by allowing himself to be spirited away in the first place.]
