Noctis didn't stir even remotely as Ignis took care of his messages, ever a hard sleeper, it proved true even now. If not for his breathing, and slight grumbles of incomprehensible nonsense, one might think him dead for how out he was. Even the kiss to his head didn't do a damn thing, it was a wonder that when Ignis actually attempted to wake him, that Noct stirred at all.

Of course, he didn't move or react at first, a slight scrunch of his face soon followed, and then his eyes barely opened enough to glance at Ignis... before promptly hiding his face. Just like old times, honestly. After a moment, there was a muffled reply, but it was impossible to make out.

If Ignis was not convinced this was the real Noctis, surely this display should aptly remove all doubt.
