Liliana was happy to kiss you Ignis - over and over and over again, even - but even so, she didn't miss how you'd only answered half of her question.
As he came in to kiss her, she murmured one word against his mouth.
"Ignis."
And it sounded, just a bit, like one might refer to a flower that so stubbornly couldn't grow until it was given all the right care and attention. Like the way a dying woman might whisper 'water' in the middle of a desert. The way one would speak the name of a lover displaced by time and space for longer than they cared to remember, delivered to them for one night.
That was the way Ignis' name fell from Liliana's lips to his.
"Ignis."
The second time she said his name, it was much simpler. That time, it simply sounded like welcome home.
