[Does he? A fair question, but the answer elludes him. Thinking about Ignis hurts. He doesn't like that, when so much else hurts already. Forgetting isn't an option either - it would be impossible - but dwelling on it too much feels worse.
Maybe he's just running away again. Even if that's the case, it's... tempting. To at least try and forget a while.]
I'm... thinking distraction. It's probably better for everyone.
[Hell, even if it trips and fails with him, at least she might enjoy herself.]
[ Distraction it will be, because it's what he wants. At the very least they've talked here, which is a start. It can be either fishing or King's Knight. One is quieter and he'll be able to still think if he wishes, the other will have an outlet for venting frustration or grief in a physical way, if needed. Both seem like good opportunities for distraction.
However... ]
But what is better for you?
[ Now is not the time for him to think of everyone! ]
[It's also tempting to say "both", but money and time isn't infinite. He still has responsibilities, even if they're much more limited here.]
...King's Knight okay? I wanna bash some heads for a while.
[After everything that's happened recently, he's neglected his account somewhat. He needs to get his score back up to where it belongs, or people will really notice something's wrong with him.]
[Even if he's running away... he's okay with that, so long as she's encouraging him to keep moving. He stands as she pulls, squeezing her hand appreciatively, and lets her lead the way out of the garden.]

All right. [ Gently, ] Then... Fishing? Or King's Knight.
