You're what all the fuss is about

She sighed and shook her head as Asla said how she liked him, obviously amused by Artorias' comment. "Noooo you'll just encourage him," she complained, but she was grinning all the same. As embarrassed as she might have been, it still made her happy for him to be off on a good foot with Asla. As her sister brought up him taking care of her, she smiled and looked toward Artorias as he confirmed that he had been to the best of his abilities and assured that she had been looking after him as well. She returned his affectionate look as they began to follow Asla toward her den, leaning her side into his for a moment. They both had times when they needed one another and every time something happened they just seemed to get closer and rely on each other more. "He's been doing a great job," she added, her gaze still happily on Artorias. He was far too humble with how much he had done for her and how wonderful he had been to her since they started dating.

"Thanks, Asla," she said as her sister offered them some of her kill and Briar stepped forward to help herself to some as well. She pulled off a few bites worth and settled down beside Artorias across from Asla as she finished washing up her paws and relaxing into the grass. She grinned a little as she swallowed a bite just as Asla asked her if she had brought him home to meet the family. "He found his own way here, actually," she began, glancing toward Artorias. "But I figured while he was here I should properly introduce him to everyone." Artorias went on to explain his actual reason for spending the season in their pack, talking about how he was here to learn from their father. She laughed a little when he mentioned how Sirius had given him the most creative death so far, smirking as she finished off her snack. "I suppose that's true," she agreed. "He did get an awful lot of detail for how he'd do it at least. Much more detailed than mom saying they'd all need a turn killing you."
