[the insides are completely done up in Iolite-colored velvet, because of course]
[the driver calls back that it's only going to be a short ride, sir, probably won't even make it all the way to the estate, sir, not when the lord's at home and waiting]
[and like the driver said: it's barely 15 minutes down the road before the cart comes to a stop. the footboy can be heard clambering off the back of the carriage to go soothe the nervous horses]
[the driver himself comes around to open the carriage door, shrugging with mock exasperation. told you so, sir, if you can walk yourself over that next rise, sir, your ride's here. horses won't go near him.]
[Ace nods and hops out of the carriage, heading in the direction the driver pointed to.
...At least, he tries to. Somehow he starts strolling in the complete opposite direction? The driver hastily gets him turned around before Ace's horrible sense of direction gets him right back where he started. Though dubious of his directions, Ace acquiesces to the driver's insistence and heads up the rise.]
Oh! Yes, you are not used to my current size yet, when I was so small in Aather. Here, you may step into my hand, and I will lift you up. You can learn to climb the harness later.
[holds out his forefoot, very pleased 'v' I'M BIG]

I suppose that is so. Will you climb aboard? I can go much faster than that carriage, as nice as it is.

I am, thank you! I am still growing, too, I have had the measurements to check, though it is slowly.
