It's not sin

Azriel was quick becoming the tail Atreyu hadn't known she wanted nor needed. Not that he didn't think she could defend herself, but she hadn't had the training he had. His paws were light thus as he fell into step behind both Oath and Atreyu. He was still for the moment in his mind ranked below them, not that it would stop him from putting his foot down with the royal family. He was no pushover, and he didn't mind using force if he had to to get his points across. He'd already proven somewhat to Atreyu how headstrong and stubborn he could be.

He refused to give the temptation of sharing a den until he had the blessings of her brothers and sister. He knew he had her blessings and the blessings of their parents but the dead could only vouch so much for him. They hadn't told even Oath yet, though Azriel would of liked to remedy that sooner rather than later. He felt dirty keeping the secret from the man who had in the last year become a best friend. Not that their previous betrothal was much of a secret. He just hadn't told Oath yet that he had accepted to proceed with it now once more that they had found each other. He'd also kept his word that Atreyu was going to be safely guarded so far.

Words were spoke to the small dog and he gave a huff of suppressed laughter. The dog was cold huh? Maybe Atreyu should dress it up in outfits. That would solve it. Call it his odd sense of humor but he found the thought of the dog playing dress up with Atreyu funny. He gave a shake of his pelt, the tinkling of his jewelry his telltale sign of doing so. He needed to stop thinking about that for now. He was on duty and he should be more focused on the security of Atreyu and Oath.

Once Atreyu found a place he nodded to her words and settled down next to the entrance of the den. He'd stay outside to keep watch among other reasons. He gave a large yawn but kept his intentions to remain on watch. He could sleep later. Admittedly as well, Azriel didn't mind the cold outside. Perhaps it was a difference in his build, or how his coat easily thickened up for the cold. As Atreyu emerged and said she could even build a fire inside he nodded and stood smoothly. "I'll get us some firewood then. Just stay with Oath." he was already moving. He knew she would disobey but he had hope she wouldn't. He padded off and it didn't take long for him to find enough branches and kindling from what he figured.

As he made it back though there was a scent he crossed that made him drop his load of wood. A snarl rose from his lungs. He was upon the would be intruders within moments. Tail held high as those feral sounds erupted from his lungs. Guess today Atreyu would learn. His eyes narrowed and he lunged viciously for one, aiming to grab it by its head and fling it. If he got lucky he would snap its neck easily.
