The older man remains still as he continues to debate Ignis's words. He'd just cracked the egg directly into the hot pan, and Ignis was talking about mixing them? He'd messed up. There were a few small chips of shell in the egg white in the pan, the yolk still sitting nicely intact in the center of the white.

"I think I may have missed a step," he stated quietly, feeling a bit of shame turning the tips of his ears just slightly pink. He'd long learned to school any such reactions, but there was only so much he could control. Clearly the shell in the egg was no longer the issue, as his jump in protocol was now.
