It was probably a miracle that Citadel was allowed back in the market (under heavy supervision) he'd received a scolding already, and was told to be on his best behaviour.

He couldn't help the way his eyes hopefully roamed over the people around him, looking for Kai. His very short vantage point made it incredibly difficult to see who was around him, but he tried anyway.

The four week old pup walked about with his head canned upwards, trying to see everything and everyone. Wondering who he might seek out for a conversation, and learn about their lives outside of the Armada. Trying rather hard not to trip over his own paws as he did so.

Magdalene didn't quite understand why her mother was so eager to travel away from the pack lands, but she wasn't about to argue either. A fun exploration trip with her mom? How could she turn that down! Excited and eager to find out where they were going, the young pup practically shoved her mother along to get to their destination faster.

When they approached the opening of the Col to the market, Mags could only gasp in awe. The wide cave entrance blocked by guards was met with wide eyes and a slack jaw. They were so cool looking covered in all that armor! She wanted to approach with questions, but was quickly shooed inside by her mother. Stumbling over her paws, Mags found herself in continued awe as they made their way down the tunnel into a wide open room lined with stalls and vendors. The noise was loud, but manageable, nothing she couldn't handle.

At the agreement that she could wander alone as long as she made it back here in a few hours, Mags was off before she could verbally agree. Skirting around adult paws and hollering vendors, Mags was sure to find something to stick her nose into. Distracted by the moody lighting and various wares shining under its glow, she barely saw the other boy headed her way. Distracted by a sweet smelling candy, Mags barrels right into the bear-pawed boy with an 'oof' before tumbling backward onto her rump.

Giving her head a shake, she looks up at the midnight navy and charcoal boy with curious eyes. "Who're you?" She asks, forgetting to even apologize or stand up from her tumble.

"Magdalene"

Citadel let out a yelp of surprise when a sudden shape stumbled into him. He ended up flat on his belly from the impact, his paws skidding away from him in every direction. Those damn limbs weren’t reliable at the best of times.

He shook his head, and lifted it enough to see what had happened. When he realised, he started to giggle and struggled to halt the sound. So that's what it had felt like! He would have to tell Kai next time he saw her that someone else had gotten her revenge.

“H-Hello” He said as he got his giggles under control. “I’m Citadel Fatalis, a Prince here. Who are you?”


"Citadel Fatalis"
