Show Me Your Ways

Artorias felt his confidence in his abilities and answers swell when Sirius complimented the patrol strategy he'd set in place for the Hallows. With the winter they'd had, plus knowing he'd be spending a season in the Armada, he had to make sure the pack's defenses ran lick clockwork in his absence. He knew deep down that he was an integral part of the pack, that his presence kept his Knights on track with their training and kept things moving. This would be the first test to see if his systems were self-sustaining when he wasn't there to monitor them. Would he return home to his pack functioning the way it had been before his departure, or would he return to chaos and bedlam?

Sirius began to move the questions away from border security and into inter-pack conflict resolution. Artorias' smirk began to slowly slip from his face, his confidence wavering a bit as he was presented with a difficult situation. He had to determine the rightful owner to an item being contested by two wolves. He paused to think about it, walking along with Sirius in silence while he tried to decide what the best way to handle that situation was. "Uhh, I don't know. I guess if either wolf has witnesses to support their claim, maybe?" he admitted after a few moments of thought. Artorias turned his curious gaze up to Seer. "How do you handle situations like that in the Armada? Trial by combat?"
