Good evening, Voidtreckers. I'd like to announce a council meeting in three days. It's overdue and I believe we have a number of items to discuss.
Please council members take some time over the next few days to come up with and notify me of topics we need to discuss so I can prepare an agenda. If anyone who is not a council member feels strongly about a certain topic we should consider, either tell me or seek out a council member so they may relay the information.

He was just opening his mouth to tell Ignis to snag a lemon for him when he noticed the girl's reaction. His smile turned soft and slightly pained, bittersweet. The memory of another little girl with long brown hair who used to do the same thing. He missed her so.. He shook his head briefly, like the motion might knock those memories away before anyone noticed them. He knew Ignis had so he chose not to look in his direction for a moment.
He crouched down and held out a hand to take Alice's. He wasn't going to force her if she was still too shy. "That's a very kind offer, but we supposed to bother this man. This, Alice, is Ignis and he belongs to me. He is the kindest and most generous person. Ignis, meet Alice. She is one of the newest guests on our train. We haven't come up with a nickname for her yet, but I thought I'd butter her up with some tea and brownies first."

Drat.
Tony's expression seemed to turn pained and Ignis immediately worried. He wondered at it for a moment and wanted to reach out but with the little girl behind him, advancing on his hero to do such a thing wasn't the wisest course of action. So as he was about to turn to leave, green eyes watched the older man crouch down. There was a shy smile at how he belonged to Tony as if he were a possession but he didn't dispute it because there was no reason to. Truth was truth.
The rest of the smooth introduction had him keep his expression carefully neutral and he nodded but made no effort to move because he didn't wish to frighten her.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Alice. Ignis Scientia at your service." This came with a slight head bow but other than that he didn't move and kept his back against the table with the coffee pot on it.

As Alice's hand was taken, she gripped Tony's in a small squeeze as he pulled her forward to meet Ignis but she did not otherwise resist. Standing properly in front of him, she offered a curtsy in greeting.
"How do you do, Mr. Scientia," she offered, though she didn't know what Tony had meant that Ignis "belonged" to him. Was Ignis a servant? He had a stern face, but he didn't seem particularly harsh. She gazed up at his hair, having never seen hair so blonde it could practically be silver. She realized, then she was still speaking French, and then blushed, shook her head and cleared her throat, switching back to English. "Oh ah, I beg your pardon. How do you do, Mr. Scientia?" she asked again.
no subject
"Isn't she cute with that curtsy?" He remarked with a chuckle, before turning his gaze on his S.O. Then he frowned. "Come on, Tiger, relax. Give the poor girl a smile. This isn't court." The reference that Ignis was 'his' had been mostly a joke, but it was amusing the man didn't dispute it. He'd get teased about that later.
For Alice, though, Tony gave another warm, gentle smile. "Sweetheart, you're going to learn that you can understand and be understood in any language so long as you wear your SCA- the device on your wrist. You heard me in French because you know French. When you speak it to someone who wouldn't know it like Ignis, he'll understand too."
no subject
Hearing his nickname brought him up short and Tony got a look from the advisor and he listened to what the hero was saying. And seeing the iron knight on the floor got a smile as he explained to the little girl about the SCA and how it functioned. It was just as endearing as when he did something similar with their daughter.

"We're making brownies, Mr. Scientia, I've never had one before, have you?"
no subject
God she was cute.
"You know, you're too cute to share a name with someone else. You need a name that's uniquely yours." He glanced at Ignis for a moment, like maybe the other man might suddenly hold up a sign with the perfect name on it. "Well.. you're the smaller Alice. What about Little Bit? Or.. uh, Mous- Minnie! Like Minnie Mouse. That's not really a thing where you're from yet, but it will be. Do you know who Minnie Mouse is, Tiger?"
no subject
Minnie Mouse..why did that sound familiar..So he thought about it a little bit, furrowing his brow in thought. "Ah yes..a game called Kingdom Hearts with keyblades. She was the Queen if I recall correctly. Prompto played it."
no subject
"Oh, w-well thank you, I've never heard of Queen Minnie Mouse, though... I've met other queens but never the queen of the mice. I suppose I should have, the lion is the king of the jungle, after all, so I suppose there would be a king and queen of the much smaller animals and they don't get much smaller than a mouse. I hope my being named after a mouse doesn't make Dinah wish to chase me about so."
