Silas could still see the door of the family bedroom, he had confidence in turning maybe one corner. Further than though though, and he was quite afraid he would go and get lost. Besides, there was plenty to see here in the old hallways, he might have been able to sit and stare at the paintings for hours. There was so much to look at in each one, and his little mind couldn’t help but wonder if they were indeed real places and things. He was most interested in one that had four bipedal creatures with long pointing spears pointed at a shimmering white creature. It looked almost deer like, but with the tail of a lion and a long silvery horn. Silas had so many questions about it he didn’t even notice his father coming up and down the hallway.

He jumped only slightly when he heard his sire’s massive paw steps falling beside him, but happily leaned into his father’s affection as he offered it. Artorias questioned if Silas wanted to go see any of these places and at first the boy tilted his head in confusion. The aegis went on, explaining he knew of many places like the ones in the paintings. ”Can I see all of them?” He asked softly with a little thump of his aurora marked tail.
