"Nah, you're the only one of us with half a brain." A stiffled laugh and he lets one hand drop down from his lap to settle lightly against Ignis' ankle.
"I just... I thought we were doing better. With the whole talking things out, no more secrets." His fingers tighten, something hurt and pained in his voice for so many reasons.
"Why didn't you tell me he stabbed Lunafreya... In front of Noct, no less. I'm sitting there trying to convince him to give Ardyn a chance looking like a complete shitheel because he just watched her die and-" He cuts himself off abruptly, choking on his next breath, free hand coming up to scrub at his face before he does something stupid like start crying about this.
