If nothing else, the act of getting everything prep'd and clean along with Prompto's almost physical discomfort with his lie is something of a distraction. Something for him to look forward to, rather than being haunted by images and knowledge that he can only hopelessly turn over in his head.
Eventually, in the dead of night, he'll be less haunted. Have a direction to go to. Look into a pair of mismatched eyes and know where he will have to plunge his blade, and the difficulties its path will be in order for it to meet its mark.
But for now, there are vegetables to clean, and meat to look over, and Prompto blurting out that he and Ravus have made out.
Amongst other things.
"That is a rather specific denial," Ignis comments mildly, position shifted a bit just so that he can make sure his hand is out of Prompto's sight when it trembles a bit. He has to fix that. He worries that he won't be able to fix that until he's actually gone to sleep, and maybe not even then. "Still, it's hardly surprising. He is more charming than he gives himself credit for, when the stress of his position has been removed from him and he may live a little more as he pleases." Not completely, because he and Ravus are of the same make, and how Ravus would truly want to live is in dedication to his sister...
...but in absence of that, training someone and exercising and raising plants while he learn how to eat properly will have to do.
"You both quite clearly liked one another as well. I hardly think there was ever a reason to keep mum on it, really." Igni glances over to him with a quirked brow. "You're already dating multiple men as it is, after all."
