Honestly, up until this last month, Ignis had been feeling dreadfully bored since arriving back here, really...

And while he couldn't exactly look back, he did feel the turn of her head and her eyes now on him and turned his head toward her in kind.

It had clearly gone so well for her this time, after all.
