Day 29, audio, open

[He knows he promised to leave her alone. He'd been trying his hardest to do that too. However, he hadn't seen her in two days. He had a bad feeling in his stomach, so.. he was breaking his promise, which sucked. The worry was obvious in his tone along with the guilt of knowing he was crossing lines.

But, he was a dad. He might not be her dad, but it was a dad thing. He had to.]

Buttercup, if you're hiding from me, fine. Just.. let someone know to tell me you're okay?

Has anyone seen her? I don't need to know anything other than that. Just, as long as she's safe and someone has seen her.

I know those were something she enjoyed. If you'd be willing to show me how to make them, I'd appreciate it.

[Assuming the girl came back, of course. He didn't want to acknowledge the man's sympathies since he didn't want to acknowledge the fact Buttercup might really be gone. It wasn't anything personally against this calm, quiet man he'd met in the kitchen not that long ago.]

She didn't have one. If you look at her name on the roster, she appears as 'Unnamed Female' in sleeper car 1:C.

[And after a moment where it might seem he had completely ignored that 'sorry', he adds quietly.]

Thank you.

[He smiled slightly because that was how he 'brought' Noctis here so to speak. The Mother & Child Rice Dish he'd made was made specifically with the King in mind.]

I made her something..similar. But I'm more than happy to show you what you need to know.

[The unnamed female thing bothered him, so Buttercup it was. And having seen Tony so animated before, there was a definite grief in his tone now. Ignis could definitely relate at missing someone so dear to him and so he spoke in a lower tone.]

You're quite welcome. Just let me know whenever you're ready, there's no rush.

[runs_on_batteries]

Did you?

[He smiles lightly at that. He was glad to hear other people were treating the girl well. A part of him though, was a little jealous too. Buttercup had once been so clearly his fallen little bird and now she wouldn't even talk to him.

All because of hug.]

It might help get my mind off of it, if you have nothing better on your agenda.

[faithfulsupport]

I did.

[Ignis was prepared to wait as long as it took, not sure if Tony was ready to try this experiment out or not. But he was willing since the other seemed to want attempt it.]

Very well, I shall meet you in the kitchen.
