For a moment Ignis wondered if he'd said the wrong thing. But it had been a thought for a long time, and he felt bad that he was only now mentioning it. Yet despite that he tried to smile at Nida with a slight nod. "Yes, and I do realize that kind of change can't be easy at all. But you've risen to the challenge."

So when Nida stated that he didn't want to fail Ignis, he couldn't help but be really touched and so gently squeezed the hand in his again.

And this was the first that he learned of the Spiced Cider. "Well if drinking that was what helped you, I will make sure we have some at the Lodge for you." Of course he was going to have to get his hands on a recipe and maybe investigate and research this drink, but that he could certainly do. And if he had that there, maybe that would encourage his mate to show up.
