Artorias gave Ciaran all the time he needed to study and assess his surroundings, the sire following his child's gaze around as he also took in all the information he could glean. As they wandered around the island's perimeter following a well-worn path between the trees and the shore, he listened while Kea reported all of his findings. Game trails meant prey animals were thriving here, and that there was freshwater somewhere on the island. Unsurprising, seeing as how a pack had thrived here for some time. The report of a big cat being somewhere on the island did raise some concern from the Aegis, but he made no comment about it just yet. When his son mentioned the stability of the buildings, Art nodded his head in quiet consideration. "None of them have collapsed, which is good. Chimera wouldn't have let his family live in any he felt were unsafe, so I'd say we should be fine as long as we remain cautious." Plus this could be a good chance to teach his son the importance of careful footing and noble reflexes when exploring.

Leading the way down the paths and deeper into the shady foliage of the trees, Artorias sniffed at the air, sampling the scents around them. The stench of feline was coming from one of the larger central buildings in the compound. The big cat had likely taken up residence in the former Klein estate. They would need to be sure to dispatch it before they left today. "Let's continue on this way for now," Artorias said, gesturing for Ciaran to follow him along another perimeter path. "We can circle back around to explore the buildings more in a bit."

Artorias led Kea around to the back side of the island, this section much quieter and more inland away from the shore. Passing by a small cluster of small sheds surrounded by fencing, Artorias glanced inside—and immediately felt his blood turn cold in his veins. "Fucking hell..." The gristly sight before his eyes had the father cursing in front of his child without even realizing it. At least a dozen corpses of wolves laid scattered across the fenced in yard, long-since decomposed and picked clean by scavengers until only the skeletons remained. Artorias' heart stopped, his expression dropping and eyes widening at the awful sight. What the hell happened here?!

"Artorias"
