A change in perspective

This meeting had gone much smoother than Artorias had initially anticipated it might. He never suspected Hattori to be an aggressive or hostile sort of wolf towards him for any reason, but the friendly cordiality he had received was a pleasant surprise when he had half expected his call might go unanswered by the reclusive pack. His conversation and interaction with Hattori had been nothing but pleasant so far, and already the Aegis was hoping for more pleasant interactions between himself and the koi wolf, as well as between the Hallows and Tojo-kai. Of course, he would respect the pack’s desires for privacy and solitude, but knowing that one had another friend nearby was always a boon in this uncertain world.

Hattori thanked him for his efforts today, which while a strange way of phrasing it, Artorias was able to read the subtext and understand his fellow alpha’s meaning. The sapphire and onyx brute shook his head and replied, "No, you’ve been more than gracious with me today. I won’t keep you from your wolves any more than I already have." Dipping his head in gratitude to the koi wolf with respect. "Thank you for your time, Hattori. I look forward to our next meeting. And please know that the Hallows is always open to you and your people." With a smile, Artorias rose to his paws and turned to make his way back home, pleased and satisfied with his interactions with Hattori today. It felt like some bridges were starting to be built that hadn't been considered before.
