[Ignis' future is something that never quite fully leaves his mind. When you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that within only days of your last recollections of your own world you will be permanently injured in a way that will drastically affect your life, it isn't something that's very easily forgotten. He's thought often about how he would manage here in that state, and those thoughts never bring him very much optimism.

When you're someone as aggressively self-sufficient as himself, talking about weakness - even potential weakness - can be difficult. There's a great deal that he hasn't even mentioned to his closest friends, to whom he'd rather put on a brave face.]

I'm afraid I can't assist you with finding a vocation. [Does he remember him? It's been some time, and Ignis doesn't use the network openly enough to refresh the memory of his voice.] But if you'd be amenable, sir, there's... something else I'd like to speak with you about.
