It'll surprise you less the better you get to know him.

[Wishful thinking that they will, maybe, but Ignis is a sensible man, and Ardyn has proven himself capable of accepting far too much judgment and punishment even when he hasn't done anything yet, so he'd probably put up with whatever Ignis chooses to dish out.]

And yeah, I'm not a huge fan of what he does- at least, it'd be nice if he told people up-front what happens before he does it. I can live without the guilt complex.

[If it's a mortal wound, fine, heal away. But just a little discomfort? It seems shitty to trade the pain away to someone else for no good reason.]
