Hopefully, no one in present company who had already been exposed to them plenty during the weekend was sick of those pasties that Ignis had been whipping up the whole time, but it was difficult to not really lean heavily on the memories involved in them after recent events. After all, it was the quest to recreate these special little treats from Noct's time in Tenebrae that had sparked Ignis' love of cooking in the first place. It had been a nightmare, trying to master the recipe and figure it out, but from the very first moment Noctis took a bite and Ignis knew he'd gotten is exactly right....there was no going back for him after that.

So there were more tarts, and also some of the schnitzel sandwiches, the recipe he'd picked up from Cindy way back when that Noctis had also gone crazy for.

He thought of doing a little something with beans to honor him as well, but...without him here, that would have lost a significant amount of its charm.
