They were late, he knew. He had tried to wrap up their lessons as quickly as possible when he heard Elias howl, but evidently, it couldn't have been wrapped up fast enough. On top of that, they were on the furthest side from where his brother had called the imps together, and Ace felt bad. He hadn't meant to take so long in getting there, and knowing what this meeting was for, he knew that Elias had already started. He barked at Ignis to hurry up, practically forcing the boy to pick up the pace despite the training they'd just had. He also knew that Ignis would be pretty sore after this whole thing, but there was no time to rest as he herded the young pup towards the maw. Knowing they were already late and most likely going to arrive behind the others, Ace took it upon himself to inform Ignis about Impar Vita. Ignis, for the most part, seemed pretty excited. When they reached the bottom of the maw, he growled with a bit of frustration. Ignis would definitely be too exhausted to climb up to their site after running across the volcanic territory. Ace looked at him as they stopped for just a minute of rest, and although Ignis appeared to act like he was fine, Ace could see the rapid rise and fall of his chest as he seemed to try and catch his breath. "This is the first and last time i'm doing this." He murmured to himself. Kneeling down, he ordered Ignis to climb on his back and hold tight.
With Ignis secure, he quickly shot up the mountainside with long and careful strides. At times, he felt Ignis' weight bounce against his back, but Ace was confident the boy would hold on for dear life else he go tumbling down the slopes. It took a while, but eventually, they made it. And once Ace came to a stop, he felt Ignis' weight slide off his side and onto the ground. The scents of the others were still somewhat strong, so he figured maybe there was still time to catch up to them. "Sit up so I can put this on you, we must make haste to catch up with the others." He picked up a leather strip and carefully secured it around his nephew's eyes and examined him for a moment. This would be an exciting trip for the pups, and he only hoped that they would learn a great deal. Turning around, he nearly shoved his tail into Ignis' mouth and the moment the boy had a good grip, Ace began to lead him back down the slope and followed the scent trails left behind by the others.
In their haste to catch up, Ignis hadn't said much of anything. Which Ace didn't mind, and he certainly wasn't complaining about it. He knew the boy was tired after their early as hell training, but Ace would push the kid to his limits similar to how he had been at his age. Eventually, Ace saw the others ahead of him and he picked up the pace a bit. He nodded to those present before practically sliding up next to Elias and he slowed almost abruptly which caused Ignis to walk into his back legs. "Morning brother, sorry we're late." He pulled his tail up to help Ignis back to his feet. Now that they were all caught up, he didn't have to practically drag the pup behind him.
