The Summer Bonfire Festival

He had kept to his time table of leaving with Eska to begin their travels despite the news that Lillith had given him, but he did decide to keep close to The Hallows through her pregnancy and birth. They still traveled a bit around Auster, but he was pretty much always close enough to visit often and check up on her and was close enough to be easily found by one of the pack's birds if needed. They were just in the gardens when Artorias' howl went out for the pack to gather for an event of some kind and since that felt like an innocent enough reason to be there he decided to trot over to the plains to join into the group that had gathered. He didn't want Lillith to think he was being overbearing with his worry, but he did want to make sure she was doing okay. When he arrived he only saw Lillith and Ezra out of his children so he moved toward them, giving his son a grin and an affectionate tap of his paw on the young man's shoulder before he looked to Lillith and pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek. He offered their respective partners nods as well before he settled on his haunches near them, turning his attention toward the pile of wood just waiting to be turned into a bonfire.
