He'd only just barely closed his bedroom door when Artorias turned to find a blur of gray fur coming careening at him. There was no chance to react, no opportunity to retaliate. Just a startled gasp and then Artorias found himself forced to the floor, a weight pressing down on him from above. The Aegis' instinctive reaction was to begin fighting, to thrash and bite and snarl to get his attacker off of him. The only thing that prevented him from lashing out at whoever was atop of him was the jovial greeting that immediately followed, the voice so familiar he could have heard it in a lightless room and known exactly who it was. Amber eyes now wide awake and alert, Art gazed up at the smiling face of his brother. When the hell had Rudy started getting up so early? "Gods dammit, Rudy!" Artorias groaned in reply, pushing a large paw up into his brother's face to nudge him back enough for the alpha to slip out and rise to his paws again. A quick tousle of his coat to fix it and Art was up again.
Shooting Rudy a playful yet threatening look that warned his brother revenge would one day be his, Artorias motioned for his brother to walk with him away from the bedrooms of sleeping wolves. He took the lead, walking down the long, quiet corridor as morning light began to spill in from the tall windows overlooking the courtyard. Once they were nearing the stairs, Artorias would speak again. "What in heaven or hell has you up so early? Usually you're griping if you have to get up before noon." Artorias gave a quizzical look to his sibling while they headed for the stairs. Artorias never minded talking with his brother, but jeez, he hadn't expected to start his day off with an ambush! Maybe he should start posting a night guard out in their hallway to prevent such attacks in the future.
