Gladio could sense his mate starting to think too hard on the scenario, and rumbles soothingly to him, much like he had often heard when Ignis was frustrated and confused with his first transformation as a were.

"You did good, and I got you all the way home without having to haul you over my shoulder." He chuckles a little bit, trying to lighten the mood. "It was your first one after all. I've made much more of a fool of myself un front of him before, so I'm sure he won't think anything of it."

If anything. He'll scold Gladio later for not noticing sooner, but perhaps admit that the night shifts had made it hard on both of them. Gladio pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath before gently trying to move. He is still in his mate but seems to have lost his knot now, so Gladiolus makes it easier for Ignis to stretch out underneath him by finally sliding out of him, spend still slick and deep in his mate.

"I've got something I wanna tell you too. Don't laugh, okay?"
