It didn't take long for Arsenal to hear the returning bark, and even before the other had appeared his tail was wagging. His friend wasn't mad; his friend, from the sound of his running, was coming towards him. A grin stretched across his jaw as the canine appeared, running across the floor towards him, and the wolf expected him to stop. When Poser crashed into him, full force, it almost knocked Arsenal over and onto the ground.

Finally, he managed, although it seemed like he wouldn't be able to keep the air in his lungs for long.

Maybe a part of him didn't want to write it off. "Hey." Arsenal's voice was rough from the impact of the other crashing into him, but it would clear soon.
