Show Me Your Ways

Artorias gave his mentor a confused look, but then followed Sirius' gaze up to Marshal floating soundlessly in the air. Recognizing lit up in his eyes. Of course, he had Corbin to help! The raven had proven his loyalty and worth a thousand times over, he knew he could count on an aerial view from him. "Right, got it," he said with a sharp nod. Use all of his resources. He had companions for a reason. He had Knights willing to follow him for a reason. Sirius pressed the scenario further. Who would watch the borders? That was an easy answer for Artorias; he'd come up with the patrol routes and schedules himself when he'd been promoted to Baron. "The Hallows runs regular patrols of three Knights throughout the day, two moving in the same direction and one the opposite," he explained. "They start at different points along the border and overlap so we can make sure no one tries to pick off our guards and it leaves a smaller window for anyone to try and sneak in. If I take one to assist me, I know I still have two active patrols, plus the other Knights on standby in the castle."
