Built to Burn

Luckily Artorias quickly introduced the fledgling and gave a brief explanation for his presence here so she wasn't left wondering long. Her gaze shifted to his as he glanced back at her, noting the look in his eyes that explained more than he was saying. The poor bird was alone then and true to Artorias' kind, caring nature he was looking after the youngling. "That's certainly very brave of you, Zephyr!" she said with a sweet smile as she looked back to the unsteady, wide eyed bird. Before she could say anything else though, Artorias' feathered friend asked a short, simple question, just saying 'wolf?' as he looked at her. For a moment she was confused until she noticed his eyes tipped upward and she put the pieces together as Artorias confirmed she was indeed a wolf and started to snicker.

She gave Artorias a playful glare and grinned as he said that she was still a wolf even though she did look a bit funny. She nudged his shoulder with her own as she came to stand closer to the counter as well. "Hey hey hey, wolves come in lots of shapes and sizes... and sometimes they have horns!" she said with a light laugh. She settled back on her haunches beside Artorias, giving Zephyr another smile. "It's nice to meet you, Zephyr. I'm Briar. I'm Artorias' partner so I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other." She wasn't sure if Zephyr would understand what a 'fiancé' or a 'Queen' was since he didn't even know that she was still a wolf even though she had antlers so she tried to keep it as simple as possible for the fledgling. He really was very cute and her tail brushed across the floor behind her while she lifted her paw to gently smooth some ruffled up downy feathers on Zephyr's chest.
