a place to call home

Audra's unabashed happiness brought joy to Artorias' heart. More than anything, he loved to make wolves happy and to offer protection against a cruel and unforgiving world. The Hallows' newest member asserted that she had no questions at the moment and reaffirmed her desire to do good and help others survive. "Good. I think you're going to do very well here then," he remarked with a confident smile. Ambition and a drive to leave the world a little brighter than it was... Those were the traits that made successful wolves in the Hallows. The embarrassment that flashes over Audra's countenance when he asked about her rooming situation almost made him burst into laughter, but for both of their sakes, he held it in. Gods, her and Tika were too adorable! Was this how others saw him and Briar?

"Yeeeeah, I have a feeling you're probably right about that," he agreed, leaving all the finer details of such an arrangement to obscurity. They were young, they were in love. The Aegis was just happy that his wolves were happy. "Well, I'd best let you go tell her the good news and get settled in then. If you ever need any of us, Audra, you call day or night. No matter where you are, we'll come." Rising to his paws, Artorias excused himself with a dip of his head and made for the castle gates. "Oh, and Audra..." He glanced back at the smaller woman with a bright smile. "Welcome home." With that, Artorias returned to his duties, letting Audra go share the news and celebrate with her girlfriend.
