_________________________________________________________________ As her weight continued to shift nervously from paw to paw, she was glad it didn't take long for Artorias to arrive. For anyone who didn't know the man, his size alone would be intimidating. Yet, the way he looked upon her with concern and caring eyes wiped away any nervous feeling she had. Smiling softly, she shook her head yet before speaking. "Oh everything is splendid, but I do have news I believe you might be interested in," her voice is a buzz with her own curiosity. It wasn't every day that someone new moved down into Auster! "Possibly we should go for a walk? I'm not sure how this information would sit with lingering ears," Audra's head tilts to the side before she turns to leave out the door. Waiting a moment to make sure he was following, Audra headed toward the gardens. The way the dewy grass felt beneath her paws helped ground the patter of her heart. Making her way to the small clearing where her and Laeta's time stick still stood, she attempted to collect herself the best she could. Turning to Artorias, feeling nervous once more, she made her words were order first. Inhaling a good breath, she readied herself. "I was down south of here to do some sightseeing before Tika and I settled down. Or more so, probably myself, but that's beside the point," her smile is timid as her chin tilts up to assess Artorias' expression. How he would take this next bit of news might change things. "I'm not sure if you've been brought news of Hattori leaving Ashen, but it's sadly true because I by chance came across him down south by Manatee Bay. The area smelled like him and he wasn't very keen on me going any deeper into the territory. We've met on occasion from time to time, on friendly terms, though knowing Hattori he wouldn't consider me a friend. He doesn't want any ill will with anyone and didn't seem against me letting you know he'd moved down there," her breath exhales quickly after the long-winded sentences. It would perhaps have been the most Audra had ever spoken without stuttering before. "It only seems important after the whole Pirate raid. I wouldn't want us to be blindsided in any way; though he doesn't appear to be a threat," her shoulders shrug as her statement finally ended. With her tail hung low between her legs and ears slightly back, she hoped Artorias would take it well. She rather liked Hattori, for all his grumpiness was worth, and didn't want her home to be on any bad terms. _________________________________________________________________ A U D R A
