Smiling briefly, Gladio's fingers catch Ignis' own, a brief squeeze to his gloved hand as they head out. Luckily their place is rather close by, and the private floor of the reciving room is mostly traveling upward by elevator.

In all honesty, he isn't sure exactly what to say to the King and his Shield about this situation. He doesn't have any sort of speech planned out, but he had informed them that it was of the upmost importance to the point of a personal emergency.

In the elevator with Ignis, he stays pretty quiet, focusing on what was coming up. But he does stay close to his mate, his hand resting gently on the small of his back in the brief privacy of the elevator that they have.
