Running in the Halls

Artorias

Artorias had been so caught up in making sure Briar was kept warm and safe from the harshness of the cold that he hadn't heard his mother coming down the halls until she was in the doorway, looming like a monster emerging from the closet. The boy's smile fell from his face when he met her hard gaze, the look on her face familiar from all the times she had scolded Rudyard. He took a couple of steps closer to his mother, gesturing to Briar with ears folded flat to his head, knowing he was in trouble for something, but he wasn't sure what yet. Was it because he hadn't called her sooner? They'd only been in the castle for a short period of time, and besides, this was Briar Fatalis. Neither of his mothers had made it a secret that the Fatalis wolves were family and were welcome in their lands in the past. So what had he done...?

"Mom, you remember Briar Fatalis, right?" he began, looking between the aged alpha and their unexpected yearling guest. They'd all met when the Armada and Hallows had their puppy meeting seasons back in Boreas, so she would know Sirius' daughter. "I found her wandering out in the southern gardens. She was soaking wet and alone, so I brought her back to let her warm up before she froze. I, uh..." He glanced over his shoulder at Briar again, suddenly realizing he still hadn't received an answer from her as to why she was here in the first place. "I don't actually know why she's here... or why she's alone." Of course, coming to the castle hadn't been his idea at all, but in the moment, Artorias felt compelled to protect his de facto guest, just like he had when they were puppies and Tamsyn had caught them all beyond the Hallows borders. He didn't think Resin needed to know that Briar had all but invited herself into their lands on her own accord.
