Running in the Halls

Artorias climbed down from his seat as well and began to lead the way across the stone floor to the door, stepping through the open doorway into the corridor with Briar close beside him as he guided her down the long hallways that connected all the rooms in a circle around the castle. The warmth from the fires in various halls and bedrooms continued to spill into the corridors, staving off any traces of cold, though a light draught could be felt whenever they passed by a fractured window. Despite the castle still being in remarkably good condition for its age, it did show some signs of wear over time. It was to be expected, and perhaps once the weather got nicer the pack could do some renovations to really bring the fortress back to life.
Briar asked if he had his own room and Art gave a vigorous nod of his head. "Oh yeah! Almost every wolf in the Hallows has their own rooms. It's nice, because we're close together, but can still have our privacy," he explained as they walked together. "Couples obviously share, like my mothers, and young pups stay with their parents, but once they get older the castle has more than enough room for everyone to spread out. My mothers set up a few rooms here in the west wing for guests to use when they visit, and even then we still have so much space to roam. I haven't gotten to explore every room yet and we've been here for a few months!" As they entered the entry foyer, Artorias led Briar over to the grand staircase that took them up to the higher levels of the castle, beginning his ascent up and glancing back at his companion. "My room is up on the second floor. It's still in the west wing with the others, but it's high enough up that it has a great view! Would you like to see it?"
