Ignis and Gladio briefly share a look. It's the look between two people who have known each other for so long that they could have a wordless discussion, and it's Gladio that speaks up after it. "Don't dismiss him," Gladio says, scratching his jaw. "He's young, but he's got a clever head in that skull of his. He's also lazy as hell and don't brook any shit from him. He'll push your buttons probably to see what he can do, but don't let him get to you. Mostly, just treat him like a normal person. He gets bowed and scraped to in public, but he doesn't like it behind closed doors."

"His Guide is Prompto Argentum," Ignis picks up easily. "He may get on your last nerve on occasion, but you will rarely find someone with a bigger heart. If you wish to get on the Prince's good side, I would suggest that as a more skilled Guide, aiding Prompto would be an excellent option."

Gladio can't help but laugh a little. "Yeah, that's a good point. Besides, Prompto could use a few lessons on the whole Guide thing."
