Nihi Sumba, Sumba Island, Indonesia, Saturday Day

Time to start thinking about packing up and heading back to Fandom... or time to ignore the need for packing until the absolute last minute. You do you.

"Ignis," Stark said, taking care to make a bit more noise than usual as he approached his table.

"Have you enjoyed the week here?"

And Ignis did appreciate the effort, though he liked to think it was entirely unnecessary.

"Stark," he greeted back, attention shifting toward him, with a nod. "I have, thank you. Could do with a touch less humidity, but it's a small thing. And yourself? How have you enjoyed this season's extravagant excursion?"

Stark didn't like when people snuck up on him where he couldn't see them. He just assumed Ignis would feel similarly.

"It's been... I'm not sure I have the right words," he admitted. "I'm not usually so reluctant to leave. This is a wonderful place. I've been... happy. Very content here. Relaxed, even."

If thousands of daemons couldn't manage to sneak up on Ignis over the course of the last ten years, then Stark should hardly have to worry about that.

He smiled a bit at the answer. "Then mission accomplished, I should say. Isn't that the goal, of a holiday such as this one?"

"I think it is. I'm just not always good at relaxing," Stark said with a soft, self-deprecating laugh.

"This week was good practice."

"Oh," said Ignis, with what sounded almost suspiciously like a laugh, "I've always been quite terrible at it myself. The fact that even I could find myself easily relaxing here is a true testament to its effectiveness."

And there were few compliments Ignis could give something quite as great as an appreciation to its efficiency, really.
