He watches Ravus eat as though on autopilot, concern lining his face with every mechanical bite. So Gladio finishes his own bowl quickly, hunger hurrying his hand, and sets it aside before kneeling in front of Ravus.
"You don't have to keep eating if you aren't hungry. We can save the rest for later." Gladio's voice is soft and gentle just as his hands are when they wrap around Ravus' bowl, covering his boyfriend's hand along with the dish.
Love and tenderness radiate from his eyes as he looks up, trying to catch Ravus' gaze.
"Whatever you want - whatever you need - tell me. If it's within my power to give to you, I will." He'll do anything to take away the pained look in his lover's eyes. Anything at all. As long as it helps Ravus tonight.
Those Moon Flowers are the closest he can get to giving Ravus his sister back, alive and well and happy, and Gladio internally curses at the fact that he can't do more.
