The Proposition

Following his clandestine meeting with Sirius at the border and the Warlord's invitation for the young heir to go to a training program he was hosting, Artorias had run back to the castle with direct intention to find Ulric and fill him in on everything he had been offered. The Carpathius lad was still a little sad Sirius had decided not to come in and see everyone, but he clearly had a lot on his plate, so he understood. Walking back into the castle courtyard, Artorias spotted the large brown form of his alpha walking alongside his mother's, deep in conversation. His eyes lit up at his good fortune. Maybe if he could get Ulric's permission quickly, he could stop Sirius before he got too far and let him know he was 100% in.

"Ulric! Mom!" Artorias called out and scampered across the courtyard to them, greeting both wolves with an excited smile. "I just got a call from Sirius. He was at our borders looking for me. He wants me to be part of a new training program he's starting up in the Armada to help teach up and coming wolves how to become leaders." He gave both wolves a moment to process what he had said, then finished with, "I know it's a big commitment, and it would take me away from home for a little while, but I think this could be a great opportunity to learn the things Sirius knows from being alpha so I can be a better Baron and help the Hallows more!"
