To be a proper Knight

Artorias was so amazed at his new gifts, his tail wagging a million miles a minute at the end of his rump! Outlaw proceeded to explain each part of the craftsmanship that went into the sword and the harness, his voice brimming with pride, and rightfully so! These were the greatest gifts the boy had ever received, and not only were they top notch quality, they reaffirmed to him that he was indeed going to be a warrior one day. A proper knight! It took all of his self control to not start bouncing or vibrating with excitement where he stood while Outlaw detailed how to use the sword and harness properly. Artorias had to pay attention to the dog's instructions; these were not toys, they were his equipment. He must treat them with the utmost respect and responsibility as any warrior would treat their tools of the trade.

He was especially thankful when Outlaw began to explain how to put on and take off the harness. He had never worn anything around his body like that before, so that was going to take the most getting used to. Art was eager to try out his new equipment in an actual battle, but first he'd have to make sure everything was fit and adjusted perfectly to himself, and then he could start training with his new sword. It was a lot different from just swinging a stick, after all! The fundamentals may have been similar, but there was a whole lot more to consider with a sword than a simple stick. As Outlaw picked up the harness, Artorias bounced forward to present himself before the canine. Once the loop was over his head, he lifted one small paw, then the next to set them into the leg holes of the harness. He waited with barely contained glee while Outlaw finished fixing the rest of the harness into place, and once the young dog had announced he was set, Artorias leapt into a battle stance his mother had shown him. He felt the way the leather shifted and moved with his body, each twist and turn of his muscles bringing their protective barding along with it. Wearing armor still felt weird, but he would get used to it with time.

"This is so cool!" Artorias barked with joy. He ran over and scooped up the sword and sheath in his mouth, bringing them back and setting them at Outlaw's paws. "Show me how to put these on too!" Oh, wait, manners! "Um, please!"
