John can't help raising a brow at Ignis. His ability to measure up to Gladio is impressive, particularly for a man who isn't a Guide or a Sentinel. Maybe once this isn't an immediate emergency, they can get to know one another a little better. Well, he'll probably be getting to know a few people a little better, whether he wants it or not.

"Where are we going?" That still hasn't been answered, nor has much about the other two men. John keeps his tone neutral, unable to stop his gaze flicking to Gladio now and again. As much calm as he's projecting, a good bit of it is artificial. A good Guide has to be able to project beyond what he's actually feeling, or it wouldn't be much use to a Sentinel in the middle of a bad situation... like battle. "If I might ask." He knows enough to know who Prince Noctis is, but he isn't exactly in the business of tracking foreign dignitaries-cum-businessmen.
