Dragon!Prompto follows Ignis to the Citadel, because protecting Hoard is important.

“So,” Noctis says, as he gets out of the car. “What’s that thing that’s been following us?”
Ignis turns to look at the rock formation, quite some distance away, but the figure on it still well visible. “That appears to be a dragon.”
“Oh, dragon. That’s cool,” Noctis says, “Why’s it following us?”
“I don’t know,” Iggy says, frowning at the distant dragon. It’s distinctly human shaped, but he can see its horns from here. “Dragons typically don’t leave their hoard.”
“It’s not attacking us,” Gladio says. “So I doubt we picked something up that belonged to it,” he scratches his neck in thought. “We could attack it, if we really want it to leave, but…”
“Dragons are dangerous. We’re not risking our lives over something that’s not actively trying to kill us,” Iggy states firmly. “Certainly there’s plenty of creatures out there trying to do us harm already.”
“Yeah. It is making me nervous, though,” Gladio says, “it’s not acting right. Usually you walk right by a dragon and they don’t do anything if you don’t touch their shit, but this one… it shouldn’t be following us.”
“Maybe it lost its hoard? We could throw some gil at it,” Noctis says.
“Yes, I did always so wish to die by evisceration,” Ignis says dryly.
“Well, it could burn us to death. Or ice us to death. It’s pretty pale looking, might be an ice dragon,” Gladio muses.
Ignis glares at him. “Yes, because that’s so much better.”
