Liliana watched Gideon ramble on and on, focusing on Ignis more than her. Whether he was attempting to exclude her deliberately or just didn't think she was interested was unclear; Gideon was nice enough to look at, but she had known zombies who were smarter. This was all a very nice speech about the Gatewatch, and how they were just starting up their do-gooding, and wouldn't Ignis like to be a do-gooder too?

Jace was looking at her, that puppy-dog look in his eye still. At least make up your mind, child! She bit down on her irritation. She needed him and his puppy ways here.
