The first thing Liliana would notice from Ignis was a soft, wry huff of sardonic amusement. Planeswalkers who were clever and capable, was it? And yet, there was Jace Beleren anyway?
But he knew he was being a bit uncharitable. As flawed as Jace might be as a person, there was no denying his skill and his own sort of brand of cleverness.
But his little awkward bid for relaying all the heavy lifting of the speech to Gideon? Now that he would judge Jace for completely and without remorse.
He shook his head slightly as Gideon continued, and then Liliana might catch a rare thing indeed, and a subtle one, but she would likely recognize it better than anyone as a carefully controlled expression of confusion.
"Oh," he said softly. "You're asking me?"
Yes, he understood he was masquerading around as a Planeswalker himself, but it was more the...singular nature of it that was throwing him. Had they already asked Liliana? Some time, perhaps, while he was still transformed? Was that why she was so willing to accept Jace's invitation, knowing they'd be asking to bring him on board? Or perhaps they were planning to ask them separately? Terribly inefficient, were that the case.
Well. This was giving a few more things about this encounter a bit more of an...interesting light, now, wasn't it?
