Until The Madness Ends

Artorias was glad that his presuppositions didn't seem to upset or offend Balthier, the young man seeming to just shrug it off as he explained that he had lived in Abaven and his mother had chosen not to come live with his family. It did make him feel a little sad for the gold and black wolf, but ultimately he wouldn't dwell on it. Balthier seemed a little uncomfortable with the awkward conversation and ready to end it, as did the Aegis, so he would let it pass by in silence. Together the two of them walked towards the castle, passing through the impressive gates and through the lush gardens until they reached the main entrance. At this point, Artorias would let their newest addition go to his own devices to settle himself in.

"You can have your pick of any vacant room on the third floor. Please make yourself at home, Balthier, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask any of us." He gave the other brute a lopsided smile and dip of his head while he excused himself, pausing just long enough to add, "Oh, and we're very grateful to have you here." Then he would leave Balthier to get settled in, knowing he would see the other wolf around the Hallows on a regular basis soon enough.
