One should never underestimate the tendencies for those to return to what they deem familiar. This is true for people and beasts alike, plus... other things. So after he's spent some time with Gladio to ensure that their home is properly secured for Noctis and Prompto (not to mention themselves, of course), he takes off to do some investigatory work.

Also, really, this entire place simply needs to be clean up in some capacity.

The idea is that he will see if any of the IDs are drawn to the scattered fragments from the craft which crashed and then get rid of such so that it isn't in the way of anything else. The last thing they all need is for some other emergency to happen, and people to trip or run into giant slabs of metal.

All the help he has currently is a promise that Hoshiko is watching from afar for any issues. So, needless to say, when there's suddenly a hand help him haul up a piece of shrapnel, and a strangely dissimilar voice...

Ignis stares. Frowns, actually. But he's sharp enough to realize that something is... strange, here. Certainly Ardyn is capable of being an absolutely two-faced tit of a man, but there's a certain quality to the act which makes it incredibly shallow in Ingis's eyes. (Also he hates him.) This is even before going into the careful distance they've both been maintaining ever since Charlie brought Ardyn back to life.

"...I shall keep it in mind," he says, voice slow and careful. "So you're out and about, then?"

Just a mild statement, something to proud and get a bit more out of the other.
