Rudy made a silent affirmation to himself as Art lightened up a bit at the challenge. Art had to remember the world had good things to offer, he had to know that the load of pain couldn’t be carried all the time. The boy waited as Art gave Corbin instructions. Rudy hadn’t brought his pets along though who knew where Reddy his hawk was at any given moment.
Rudy had never imagined how much more lethal Art would become when he got a real sword, watching his brother take it off he recalled back as pups how not everyone bought into the idea a wolf could do better with a sword than their own teeth. Well, guess Art had shown any doubters how well it could work. Rudy snorted at the comment of being in charge of knights, “yah, well, never bother listing me as another knight your in charge of,” Rudy stated dryly, “no charge over me, at least no more than any brother.” The return was said with the same challenging tone but had it irked Rudy just a little inside?
Somehow the idea of being clumped in with the knights and being under Art’s charge did actually rankle him when put that way. Rudy didn’t label it arrogance but he was more than just a knight, a future leader even if it wasn’t acknowledged yet. Rudy acknowledged it. No one was in charge of him. It had been ok when mom was the leader as that was mom who would be in charge for being moms well as station. Flattening his own ears, getting into a defensive stance, “After I best you, I’m not letting you forget about it.”
Rudy charged in at his brother, putting his weight on his back paws so his front half could go slightly off the ground, a paw aimed towards the face even as his jaws went for Art’s neck. The plan was if Art wanted to return bite there would be a paw in the way. Rudy might hit his brother with the paw, he might get his paw bit, but the bet was he’d get to Art’s neck either way unless his brother backed up. Rudy was betting on Art not backing away, not with his warrior's pride.
