There was an amused smile. "Even kings are human and need to eat properly." Really though Madoka's expression is priceless and it's all Ignis can do not to laugh because she'd probably think he was laughing at her specifically.
"If you prefer, maybe you can just join us for dinner and you can sit next to him." There, that aught to serve as a good example for the king.
Now that suggestion seems a whole lot easier for Madoka's brain to take in. For a moment she still looks startled, as if it takes a moment for surprise that strong to fade, but then she slowly nods.
".. Okay, I think I can do that much.." All she has to do is just be an example, after all! She's not sure if she's a good example, but she'll try..! "You don't think he'll mind me sitting next to him, do you, papa?"
Ignis smiled at her hesitation. "No, I'm sure he'll be far more likely to make a place for you to sit right next to him." Gladio and Prompto would just have to take a back seat so to speak at the dinner table. The king and the advisor's daughter were growing close and that's all that he would want for the two of them.
Madoka would be a good influence as she had a lot of Ignis in her for not being his child by blood.
Clearly they just have to shame Noct into eating vegetables by showing him children more well-behaved than him when it comes to it. Like Madoka.
"Make a place.." She repeats the words as if she almost can't believe them. It's not a bad kind of surprise though - if anything, Madoka seems rather happy. A soft smile appears on her face. The thought that any of Ignis' nice friends from back home like her enough to do that for her is just nice. "I.. I'd really like that. Let's do it the next time we all eat together."
Naturally, and who better to do it than Ignis' daughter? Irony all around, including that with her being Tony's daughter as well.
This had him smile again. "Alright it's decided. We'll make sure you sit next to Noct, especially if we're having vegetables." Well this might be a new thing but it was worth a shot to try and get the king to eat properly. And if all worked according to plan, so much the better.
