“He’s ready.”
Noctis laughed and clapped when Ignis stuck a carrot into the face of the snowman they had just made. He hugged Ignis tightly, beaming at their creation.
“Thank you, Iggy! He’s perfect!”
Ignis smiled and hugged Noctis back. “Want to make a snow fort now?”
Noctis’ eyes widened and he nodded vigorously. He and Ignis started gathering snow, building a fort next to their snowman. They laughed and flung snow at each other, acting their age for once.
Regis smiled from the covered walkway, happy to see the two kids enjoying themselves. He prepared two more blizzard spells then lobbed the flasks into the air one after the other. The second flask hit the first, causing both to break and send snow fluttering down around Ignis and Noctis.
The sound of laughter filled the courtyard for hours, and Regis cherished every moment. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for his boys.
