Artorias watched Briar while she worked her way out of their hiding place and then waltzed past him with confident spring in her step and a nonchalant flip of her head. The little Fatalis girl was certainly very sure of herself and proud, carrying herself with an air of superiority about her. It made Artorias wrinkle his nose like he'd just tasted something exceptionally bitter. No one in the Hallows regarded themselves as superior to anyone else, so the elitism she was exuding was not something he was used to dealing with. He didn't know how to react to it though, so he just ignored it any followed her outside into the training yard. He glanced around their new surroundings, able to actually take in all the sights now that they weren't running away. He stared in wonder at the wolf dummies and the scuff marks in the earth around the training grounds. Was this where all the mighty warriors in Mama's stories came to hone their skills? Was this where his own mothers had learned how to be the greatest fighters? It felt surreal to be standing where they once had learned as well. Wow... Maybe one day I'll get to train here to become a knight too...! he thought with an excitement welling up inside his little heart.
Briar made a statement that Blue had no chance of keeping up with them, and Art gave a short laugh and grin back at her. He didn't miss her calling him Blue Boy again, and although he mentally chided her by repeating his name in his head, he decided against saying it out loud again, at least this time. "Ha! He's waaaaay too slow without his trees! He never stood a chance of outrunning us!" he agreed. She asked him what he was going to do now, and Artorias hesitated for a moment. He hadn't considered what would come next; everything had happened so fast, he hadn't come up with any kind of plan. Before he could tell her as much, Briar looked back at him with intrigued turquoise eyes and asked what he liked to do for fun, then listed off a few options. Artorias guessed these were probably some of her favorite things too, and he was happy to hear that exploring and fighting were among them. Plants? Bleh, who cared for collecting plants? That sounded more like work than fun to him. But then again she was a girl, and didn't girls love flowers and things like that?
"I like to fight! I'm training to be a knight, just like Mom and Mama someday, and then I'll be a great warrior as well!" declared the excited pup with a wide smile and fiery eyes. "I like to explore too! It's fun going places and seeing what secrets you can find and how different other lands are! Do you like fighting and exploring too?" His attention was fully focused on Briar, watching her with a wagging tail, hoping she would be into at least one of those things that they could do together. Of course, if she just wanted to collect her plants, he could always explore the areas they went while she picked flowers or berries or did whatever it was girls did around here.

One big happy family
Artorias has two ravens named Corbin and Eira and a fox named Argent. Assume they are within calling distance at all times.
As his mate, Briar may enter Artorias' threads unless marked Private.
