Call Me Old-Fashioned

The surprise birthday party for the reigning Fatalis' youngest litter was a tremendous success! Everyone was having a grand time, Artorias had managed to catch Briar completely off guard with his presence, and for the first time in a long while, there was nothing but love and joy in the world. After the horrors they'd all endured the seasons prior, it was a welcome breath of fresh air. And while there was much celebrating and rejoicing to be had, Artorias knew there was a little bit of bittersweet melancholy surrounding Briar. It was no secret that the Fatalis lady would be moving to join him in the Hallows in the next couple of weeks, and he knew that couldn't have been easy for her parents. Sirius and Zee were doting and protective parents, and he knew this wasn't an easy thing for them to do. He wanted them to know how much he appreciated their love and support of Briar, and to give them faith in him that he would care for their daughter to the best of his abilities.

Sometime amidst the party as the night drew on, Artorias excused himself from Briar's side covertly and snuck his way over to the Warlord and Queen. "Warlord Sirius, Queen Zee," he greeted both of them with a respectful dip of his head and a bright smile. "Thank you both again for inviting me. The party's fantastic, and I know this means a lot to Briar." He paused for a moment to glance back at his girlfriend in question, making sure she was still preoccupied with another conversation to come looking for him. Then he turned back to the alpha couple and asked in a hushed tone, "Actually, do you mind if I speak to you both in private for a moment about Briar?"
