Whenever there is a gathering in need of food, it's a fair bet Ignis will be there at least for a short time to supply said food. In this case, he's brought a variety of things with apricots in them. Look, he just found new fruit and it was begging to be experimented with. Hopefully, people here like apricots.

He lingers around after dropping off the food, chatting for a little while to see how the explorations went. While he can't see the blood on Chara and Hinata's clothing, he certainly does hear his own name mentioned along with the vines.

"So they finally showed up again? What have you found?"
