[Ignis tilts his head slightly when he hears the mumble. Part of him is curious why the young man feels the need to hide his displeasure in such a soft comment. Still, in the end, he decides not to pry. There are happier and more interesting things to focus on than the pain of separation right now.]
Oh dear, they would have to be bugs, wouldn't they? And a spider no less. [The advisor shakes his head, an amused look on his face. Interestingly enough, with his attention focused on something else, the blade Ignis was previously fidgeting with has vanished from where it rested in his lap.]
Mind you, I have no issues with bugs or spiders, but my two friends are a different story. Do let me apologize in advance for the inevitable screaming that will happen when they see them for the first time. For all the daemons and other creatures we have fought, they are both somehow still scared senseless by spiders. [Granted, Ignis has his own fair share of bad memories tied to spider daemons, but from the way Guzma describes Ariados, she seems a very far cry from the daemons he knows. Why, she sounds almost cute with her wide eyes and bright colors.]
Perhaps in the future should both you and your pokemon come to trust me, Golisopod may let me touch him? I'm still learning to 'see' though touch, but it quite amazing the pictures one can paint in their minds with it. [Of course, smell is also a good way to paint pictures when one can't see and despite it's simplicity, the meal that Guzma has cooked smells wonderful.]
There's nothing wrong with rustic once and a while. One cannot properly recognize just how splendid an Altissian Carpaccio is without knowing how plain a garula steak is in comparison. Trust me, I've both made and tasted both dishes enough to know. [Ignis pauses suddenly, realizing it was a mistake to mention a dish from Altissia, because it causes his mind to drift back to the summoning, saddening him if for a slightly different reason than usual.]
It's a shame the rite and subsequent invasion laid waste to so much of the city. There's nothing quite like enjoying a fine dish of salmon or trout while overlooking the very canals where it was caught not long before.
