An offer

Art greeted him with an easy joy, and Sirius smiled back at him. It was surprisingly easy to do. Who knew madness was so easy? But he would give anything for Zee, to see her again. His sanity was a small price to pay. He would do anything for his wife, anything to make her stay. He smiled wider at Art, although he was caught off guard when the younger wolf stepped forward and enveloped him in a hug.

He blinked, taking a moment before reacting. When he did, it was to fold a paw over Art, and to bring him in close as well. Zee might wish him to join the Armada, but honestly Sirius wanted that as well. He was a good kid, with a lot of potential. Sirius wanted to see him flourish. He just needed to convince Art that the best place to do that was the Armada.

“Actually, it was you I came here to see. I was thinking of starting up a programme, taking on a couple promising wolves from allying packs and training them together. You could bring the best of what you know from the Hallows, and learn the best of what another trainee knows about their pack. Would you be interested in joining such a group? It would be loan-style, so you wouldn’t have to give up your position in the Hallows” he explained.
