The door opens with a slam, and Ignis walks in with a couple of his attendants following. He notices me, and he considers sending them away.

I've worn the peignoir and came here, in his room, to wait. He would have forgotten to visit me if I didn't do this.

«I'm free now,» he replies. «Even though it's late.»
