OOC: These events occur immediately after this post and during that thread.
Artorias was thrilled to not only be out in the Armanda grasslands and exploring a new terrain, but to also be surrounded by so many new wolves his age too! His mothers had told him and his siblings stories of their times in the Armada, and of their friends who still lived over there. One of those wolves was the renowned warlord alpha of the pack, the wolf who had trained and been trained by Resin and Tamsyn, the massive lupine mountain that dwarfed everyone else at the playdate, including his mother Resin—and Artorias had thought Resin was huge! Sirius had greeted the boy with gusto, and although the pup was still in awe at the size of this wolf, he was happy to finally get to meet Mom and Mama's friends from over the border.
While the other pups had begun to explore and mingle with one another, the black and blue-furred pup hung close to Sirius, just taking in the dire wolf with fascination and amazement. Despite his size and those saber teeth, Sirius looked and acted like he was here to play too! Although the boy knew he was going to head off to play with the other pups Sirius had brought with him at some point, he had been wanting to meet this staple of his parents' stories for so long! "Hello, sir! My name is Artorias!" Artorias barked gleefully when the much larger male crouched down to meet him at his size, remembering to mind his manners like Mama Tamsyn had told them to. Tiny tail began to wag behind him when Sirius asked what he thought of the Armada. "It's so different here! It's not as high as back home, and there's a lot of grass, but it's cool! I can see for so far!"
In the midst of his excitement, Artorias had been unconsciously been stepping closer and closer to the warlord. Bright amber eyes were alight with life and curiosity as he studied the man, from the white marks over his left eye to his tremendous teeth. "Mom says you're an alpha like her, but you're waaaaaaay bigger! I bet you win every fight, right?" Artorias wanted to hear stories from this wolf too, and play and run and chase with him. He and his siblings had never known a father figure in their lives, Resin filling in the role as best she could despite her cool and stony demeanor, but Sirius gave off an entirely different energy, one that was brand new. It was fresh, and Artorias was intrigued by the man.
