​Regis had called Ignis that afternoon and asked him to teach Noctis how to waltz. Ignis had been surprised, but ever so flexible, he agreed to try his best. And so he waited for Noctis in his apartment in the evening, the news on the TV droning on in the background while Ignis was working in the kitchen. He prepared Noctis’ dinner (and his own) and bent down to check how the lasagna was doing in the oven, when he heard a key turn in a lock and the entrance door open.
