He figured Cina wouldn't be too happy to see him after all this time, but they were all going through their own shit. He wasn't a child to be coddled anymore. The boy had stopped for all but a moment before continuing on his way, and this is when Ignis rose to his feet. The crimson male stood, shaking the sand from his fur as he issued a bark. Demanding that he stop. "What the fuck is your problem? Hm? Aren't you a little too old to be acting like a child?" He challenged, but made no move to follow after him. Not yet.

"I'm aware I wasn't around as much as I should've been. I've admitted that to myself before, and I'm acknowledging that now. I had a lot of shit going on myself and I didn't want to burden all of you with it. But I did to at least a couple of you, and now two of your brothers are out there doing who the fuck knows what! Does that make you happy?" Honestly, he had no clue that his disappearance with two of Cina's brothers had affected him so much. But he was still figuring shit out for himself and had been going through some sort of breakdown back then thanks to whatever demonic shit that Elias had plagued him with.
