"Looking for a fight, brother?"

Artorias hadn't missed Azure's absence from their arrival to the Armada, nor his subsequent avoidance of him and Briar during their visit. Whether it was intentional or not, it didn't make much of a difference. Artorias still had a matter to resolve with the Armadan Champion. Following Azure from the Armada, the Carpathian wolf approached across the clearing toward his dark brown and green opponent. Neither wolf had seen one another since the wedding down in the Hallows, not since the affair with Hanako. Azure's apology had been mediocre at best and offensive at worst, and the issue remained unresolved between the two alphas since then. Art would be lying if he said it didn't concern him over future relations between the Hallows and the Armada, or that it hadn't put a strain on their relationship trying to manage his emotions on the matter while keeping it quiet from Briar and Sirius.

Now it would culminate into this moment. Artorias harbored no true ill will towards his brother-in-law, but a slight of honor demanded satisfaction. He didn't want to spend his days treading diplomatic eggshells with the future Warlord. Better to just hash it out the way men did and let the conflict be settled. "You and I have something to settle. So set the rules and let's do this." Squaring up across from Azure, Artorias set his paws and leveled his body, muscles tensed and nerves ready to react. Artorias had no desire to do any true harm or damage to his brother-in-law, but if Azure chose to go for blood, then the Aegis would do what he must.
