Duck duck goose

Artorias hadn't gone further than the courtyard, stopping to talk to his mother while his young half-siblings roamed the castle. While initially on his way out to do a patrol, Tamsyn had convinced him to let the other warriors handle it and take the time to play with his siblings and his young ward. She was right; now with Zephyrus under his care, Art felt the pressure to keep security on the pack up. He hadn't even known about the birds roosting in the tower room until recently! And so, returning back into the castle to go find the younglings, the dark-furred male headed in the direction he knew two of them would be.

Approaching the great hall, the Aegis was concerned to hear the sounds of scuffling and screeching from within. His pace quickened, paws rushing across the smooth stone floor until he emerged in the hall, spotting Zephyrus and Sierra struggling against one another on the floor. "Hey, hey! Break it up!" he shouted as he hurried over to separate the two combatants, easily able to pry tiny Sierra off of Zephyr's talon while also trying to keep the rapidly growing raptor away from his sister with his other large paw. Gold-flecked amber gaze narrowed while he looked between the two, positioning himself to keep them both arm's length apart at all times until they'd cooled off and caught their breaths. "Does someone want to tell me what's going on here? Why are you two going at each other like cats and dogs?" Art's voice was stern, but not angry, aggressive, or yelling. He wanted answers, but he didn't believe in getting them by inspiring fear in either his ward or his sibling.
