Knock Knock You about to get.....

The fighting was intense, and Artorias watched the two women fight with such ferocity, silently critiquing the fight in his head as he observed each move made. In the end though, Bellatrix was able to secure the upper hand, and with a quick move she toppled Widow and secured her victory. Artorias harbored no malcontent toward Widow—hell, he hadn't even gotten to know the new Austral pack—but he was happy to see Bellatrix's desires to rebuild her family's home come to fruition. When the young girl looked up at him with a smile, Artorias returned the gesture with a smile and approving nod of his own. She'd earned her win. He listened while she proudly declared that Norad had returned, then followed her pointed gaze out to the crowd. The moment his eyes fell upon Rhazien his gaze narrowed, glaring daggers at the Syndicate brute. Of course the mongrels from the north would send someone down to watch...

Artorias was pleased to hear Bellatrix did not intend to keep any of the Hellborn wolves captive and instead released them all to their own devices. When she declared that Norad would be meeting to take the God's Garden, however, his smile faltered and fell. The God's Garden was a pivotal place to gather herbs and healing supplies from, both for the Hallows and for the public. If Norad was claiming this land, did that mean Trixy intended to keep and hoard these supplies for herself? Hmm... that was a conversation they were going to have to have. But for now, Artorias would let her enjoy her victory and get her family together again. There would be time to talk later.

Rising to his paws, Artorias motioned to Ember to follow him. "Come. We're done here," he whispered to her, keeping his guarded glare on Rhazien and Medusa. He didn't wish to stay around in case the violence spilled over into the crowd.
