"Are we gonna do this?" Ace asks. "Or are going to seat here all day waiting for you three to come to a decision." 

It wasn't like him to be impatient, but the Elders have kept Ace and everyone else around them waiting for a verdict on what to do with the current circumstances.

"That too, the son of a Don and head of the House of Shadows." He added. 

"I believe the boy has made it clear about his decision to sever any connection with his family?." Elder Ram said.
