And Here... We... Go

The calls of familiar voices coming from the northern grove was not an unexpected surprise to the Aegis. He had known about Kyanite and Andromeda's planned visit for some time now, it had only been a question of when they were actually going to show up that remained and it appeared today would be the day. Lifting his head from the puppy-proofing he was doing to his and Briar's bedchambers in preparation for their next litter's arrival, the blue and black brute shot a pleased grin over to his notably pregnant mate. "Sounds like your sisters are here," he remarked, rising to his paws and beginning to make his way out of Hearthstone with Briar to go greet their guests. It had been some time since Kite and Andy had visited last, and given the nature of how their last visit had turned out, he hoped that this one would be much more pleasant for them.

The weather was gray, but pleasantly mild, a little nip in the Austral winter air as he walked with his queen across the plains to meet the Fatalises at the far border. As the Hallows alphas emerged through the trees, Art noticed that the yearlings were being accompanied by the Armada's resident diplomat, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! Artorias greeted all three ladies with an easy smile, gesturing them across the border with a nod of his head. "C'mon, you guys know you're welcome across," he teased them lightly with a chuckle. Amber eyes lifted to Keahi next. "You too, Miss Keahi. Please stay and rest for a spell with us after your trip."
