Is it something to do with where I come from

Ezra knew he wasn't the most well spoken or eloquent wolf around, at the very least not when he was next to Artorias, but he was glad Memento seemed to connect with how he described his experience of the Hallows. When he glanced to Art he could tell his friend appreciated the kind words too and that made him grin. He didn't know if he had ever really expressed how much the Hallows and Artorias himself had done for him over the years so at least he got a chance to express that to him. As the conversation continued, his cousin described the role her companions played in her life and how they came to be a group, his pale gaze following hers to glance back at the jackals as well. It reminded him of a time when Aquila had felt like his only friend as he navigated the loss of his mother and the perceived betrayal of finding his father sleeping with another woman. It was funny how these companions ended up playing such a big role sometimes.

His attention turned back to Artorias and Memento as the question came up of how many wolves called the pack home. He blinked with a bit of surprise when Artorias mentioned that there was nearly two dozen of them now. He still remembered when the pack and mostly just him their two litters, their parents, and a handful of others. It had really grown into such an established entity in the world of Auster and Boreas that it was kind of wild to think back to where they started. When Artorias mentioned his and Briar's potential plans for pups a little wistful smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he looked up toward the castle ahead of him. He couldn't let himself regret the choices he had made with Syanna because the only choice they had was to keep moving forward, but he did wonder if that was something that he'd ever be saying himself. In the end he had the woman he loved and that was far more important to him than any ifs or maybes, but it was still a thought that crossed his mind. He glanced toward his cousin as Artorias asked her where she might make her den, making note of it for himself so that he would know where to find her later in case they wanted to get to know each other better.
