Artorias cocked his head to the side in confusion when Bowen burst into a high speed rant about why he wouldn't want her to go along with him on adventures. He didn't really understand where she was coming from with her reasoning. Sure, she was smaller than him, but that didn't mean she didn't deserve the same opportunities that he got. If she wanted to see the world too, he'd want her to come along! That's what family did, wasn't it? Stick together and have each other's backs. "Of course I want you to come with me, Bo! It doesn't matter if your legs are smaller, I'll just walk slower. I'd rather walk with my sister than walk alone." A huge grin burst across Art's face as another idea popped into his head. "And if you get too tired to keep up, I'll just carry you instead. I bet with all the training Mom's giving me, I'm gonna be strong enough to take you wherever you wanna go!" The mental image of him slinging his smaller sister across his back as they trekked across fjords and fields made the boy snicker to himself. His words were earnest and heartfelt all the same; an adventure on its own was amazing—an adventure with your friends and family was life-changing.
When he had called her over, he had no idea what criteria Bo had when it came to collecting her treasures. For the most part, her collection seemed to be random and made up of a hodgepodge of whatever she could get her paws on. Artorias stood next to her in the rippling stream while she studied the rocks beneath the water, keeping his alert eyes up and scanning the trees to make sure they were alone. He exchanged a brief glance with the jackals who looked entirely bored to be out here doing nothing. Eh, maybe the scavengers weren't so bad after all... They were just like weird, lanky wolf things. Bowen let out a coo of delight and Artorias looked down in time to see her pluck a blue-streaked pebble from the riverbed and slip it into her satchel. A proud smile made its home on the boy's face, happy he was able to find something she liked. Mission accomplished!
A gust of wind ran through the woods then, rustling their coats and causing the willows' branches to sway and rub together like natural wind chimes. If he listened closely, he could almost swear he heard voices speaking to them in the wind, and all of a sudden the place felt almost ethereal, as if it didn't belong to this plane of existence. Artorias gazed around at the dancing willows with awe. He'd never heard anything like this before! "I dunno... Maybe they're talking about us..." he replied with a wry smirk to his sister. Rudy had confided in Artorias his belief that they were all destined for greatness, and maybe nature saw it in them as well. Were the trees and the wind speaking of the lives the future held for the Hallows children? Or was it all just fanciful imaginings of a young mind? "Mama did say the land is alive. Maybe they're trying to tell us their secrets... or where to find some cool treasure for you to bring back home." Artorias slowly peered around the woods again, allowing himself to be absorbed in the moment and immerse himself in the world. Everything seemed so big and vast around them... It was awe-inspiring and intimidating, but the blue pup found himself longing for more. There was just so much to do and see! Would he ever have enough time for it all?
