Amber eyes grew even wider with unconfined excitement when Tamsyn agreed to take them beyond the boundaries. Artorias gave short, happy yips as he bounced about in place. At first, he had been worried his mothers would shoot down the idea, especially since it was their first time outside the den and that was a pretty big ask. He glanced over to Rudy with a huge grin and a 'come on!' look on his face. He looked back over across the wide world surrounding them again with wonder and amazement, eager to get his paws out there and see it all! Turning back toward Tamsyn and—eww! His mothers were kissing again! Artorias crinkled his nose and turned away. Why did the adults like to kiss so much? Grown ups could be so gross sometimes! As he bounded around the edge of their designated play area, weaving in and out between the border now that he had permission to go outside the boundary while waiting for Mama and Rudy, his paws stepped on a small stick, snapping it with an audible crunch that made the black and blue boy freeze in place.
Paws quickly stumbling backwards until he had flopped back on his rump, Artorias stared down at the sticks, ears flicked backward to hide his embarrassment at getting spooked by a twig. Still, he eyed those sticks with curiosity and an innovative mind, pawing at a larger segment of the wood. He got back up, shaking his fluffy puppy fur, and picked up one of the pieces of stick in his jaws, carrying it around with him as he went back to patrolling the border of their play area. The outside world was exciting, but also unknown. With Mama with him and Rudy, he knew they'd be safe, but maybe he could help protect them by beating off any bad guys with his new stick weapon! As a puppy he knew he wouldn't be much of a threat—but an armed puppy...!
"Mama, look! I can protect you now!" Artorias called out to Tamsyn, showing of his new find with a few twists and shakes of his head to swing the stick like a bat, his little tail wagging rapidly behind him. "C'mon, let's go!" He bounced over to Resin where his sisters were, looking between the three of them one at a time. "Gwyn? Bo? Daphne? Don't you wanna go see the world?"
