Daredevils

The sound of claws clicking on the stone caught Artorias' attention, the yearling alpha turning his head to regard Kione's greeting with a small smile and a nod. "Good morning, Kione," he greeted the painted dog from his half-stretched position, feeling his back pop in the most wonderful of ways. "I do. I start every morning with meditation and a run around the castle walls. Keeps the mind sharp and the body limber." Giving his dense coat a tussle to smooth out his fur, Artorias glanced back to Kione. He didn't know much about the wild dog, but he had proven to be a decent fellow, and Art found it nice to have a bit of company with him this morning.

Kione questioned him about his exercise and Artorias gave a thoughtful hum in the back of his throat. "Well, I'm usually the only one up here this early, so I do it for the fitness element. Buuuuut..." He turned a challenging glance over to his guest. "I wouldn't be object to having some fun with it too. Certainly makes normal routines more exciting." Stepping over to the inner edge of the walls, Artorias pointed to the walls that surrounded the castle, a near perfect ring of stone like a racetrack. Some of the segments of wall were more weathered than others, making for a potentially treacherous course to run.

"I don't suppose you'd be up for a little race around the walls? Get the blood flowing and the muscles moving. Great way to start the day." He shot the painted dog a curious look, raising his brow while he waited to see if his would-be opponent would be feeling like a lively jaunt around the walls. "Unless you'd rather do it on the plains where it's easier, if you're not feeling up to a challenge." Was he goading Kione on? Yeah, just a bit, but it was all in good fun, and the smirk on his lips said as much.
