join the festivities

Venom smiled, showing a genuine happiness that Artorias was so grateful to see in his close friend once more. Seeing the Empress rise to what she had become in the wake of the tragedy of her first marriage had been nothing short of an awe-inspiring story, one the Aegis would forever be thankful to the man she had found love with. As they talked, Venom mentioned bringing their children all together, and Artorias’ eyes lit up at the idea. His eldest would be well into their adolescence by then, but if he and Briar had any day in the matter, there would be a new litter of young Carpathians for Venom’s brood to mingle with. "Thats a great idea! By then, Briar and I will likely have a fresh litter for your youngest to play with and get to know one another." A hearty chuckle rumbled in the dire brute’s chest as he added, "Who knows, maybe one day we’ll be seeing a Carpathius-Klein wedding if they get along well enough!" It was said with humor, but there was always a bit of serious possibility in that idea. The Hallows and Ashen were close allies already, and the Carpathians and Klein shared common ideals. A marriage or two between the two families would only tighten those bonds and bring the two packs even closer together.
