There was a soft grunt that time as one wintergreen eyes cracked open just enough to follow Gladio as he left the bedroom. Waking up so luxuriously was something that Ignis was starting to grow fond of. Normally, he'd be up well before dawn and busy at work as the sun slipped into the sky but since his shift, he'd bee allowed some space and more free time than he'd had in years. In a way, he felt bad about it but he knew that the entirety of the pack was given the full three days of the full moon off, so he tried to temper his misgivings with that knowledge.

Sighing under his breath, he let himself doze back off for a while until the scent of his precious Ebony teased him back awake. Groaning, he blindly reached out to run a hand along Gladio's usual side of the bed only to find it not only empty, but cool. A few minutes later and a still nude and sleepy Ignis wandered out into the living room, idly scratching at the edges of the healing mating mark.
