"Of course you don't." The response, in a reassuring tone, was immediate and nearly automatic. Yes, of course he didn't. That idea would have been patently ridiculous. Alcuin's intentions were not in question, all the questioning was for Ignis himself.
But he could be neutral, couldn't he? It wasn't like he hadn't had practice. Keep still and hold off on worry and apologies until there was actually something to worry or apologize for. "I'm not uncomfortable," something of a lie, the mix of desire for touch/concern for feelings/shame for wanting at all wasn't exactly comfortable, "merely given to considering unexpected questions at length. What do you need me to do?"
