Ignis enjoyed that Liliana lore drop very much, thank you, as it quirked both his eyebrow and his attention with a slight lift of his chin, an angling of his head, and a little pin to put in that to perhaps ask about later, especially since, listening to Liliana's answer, he was potentially going to have to be be quite diligent about reminders to himself that he was in the middle of teaching a class and not just volleying back musings and repartee in the comfort of their parlor.

And the last part pulled from him a small, easy smirk, even if what preceded it reminded him that he and Liliana could have quite the interesting discussion some time regarding Magitek soldiers, couldn't they?

"I suppose that depends, doesn't it, Ms. Vess," he answered, with a little more tug at that smirk and another firm reminded of the classroom of it all. "While keeping such things close to one's hand may leave the enemy guessing and unsure of what all might be brought to the table, there is certainly something to be said about what might be revealed to perhaps direct an advisory toward one expectation, and then subverting that expectation to catch them off guard, don't you think?"

Mentioning that that had been part of the discussion she missed last week was, decidedly, deemed a very unwise move, as well.
