As if anticipating his every thought and concern, Ruga reassured Artorias that he had even more to show him. Curiosity peaked, the Aegis watched from where he stood while the Armadan craftsman finished assembling a rolling tray of sorts that he then filled with candles, lit, and wheeled into a slot perfectly beneath the table. All at once, the orange candlelight began to glow through the etching of the table, illuminating the map from below in a vivid fiery glow. The lands, once only visible as topography, were now brightly contrasted against the dark stone table, the territories easily distinguished and landmarks defined. Artorias' amber eyes grew wider as did the smile on his face as he marveled at the amazing workmanship laid before him. Ruga had really outdone himself this time and the Aegis had definitely gotten his money's worth!
Artorias couldn't help but give an incredulous laugh and a shake of his head as he examined the map and table, running his paws across the illuminated map, marveling at the ingenuity and how none of the heat managed to seep through the stone. It was perfect—absolutely perfect! "If there is any other wolf who claims they're the greatest craftsman in the world, they are surely a liar," Artorias remarked with a proud grin. The alpha made his way around the table to clap a giant paw on Ruga's shoulder. "Thank you, my friend! You've once more outdone yourself with this masterpiece! I can assure you, it will be seen and appreciated by many." Although Artorias had already paid the smith for his work, such quality felt surely deserving of a generous tip! "Please, come with me. I want to offer you some of the finest wines our private stock for such incredible work."
