"Doesn't mean Cor should've-" He cuts himself off again, shakes his head. He has to work at getting his emotions under control and a large part of that is seeing how upset Ignis is. He shouldn't have said anything, he didn't intend to so why did he open his stupid mouth.
"Ig..." There's a moment of hesitation, fear and uncertainty, and then he shifts the shield aside, holding his hand out to the other man. "C'mere." It was so fucked up, being so uncertain about something as simple as offering comfort. He hated that there was so much doubt when it came to Ignis. Sometimes, if he let himself forget, they could just be friends as though nothing had happened, just like the old days.
But there was so much history and it was all so charged. But none of it was Ignis' fault and Gladio tried, he was trying so hard, to give this man here with him a clean slate. He didn't want to blame him for the actions of a man he was not yet and may not ever be.
