There is a thrum of excitement in his bones as he steps across the border. It was not really polite to do so but if Ankh had been allowed then surely they wouldn't tell him no? It wasn't like he was going to bother anyone, besides Ailith, but he wanted to see this place with the tall spires that disappeared into frothy white clouds. He doubted he would be able to stay long enough to travel all the way up and sink his paws into the snow but he could get a head start on searching for tunnels and caves that Ankh wanted to desperately see. This was a new world with unlimited secrets he could uncover. He blinks as the moving figure of a cream and white boy catches his attention, his ears folding back in a sudden wave of uncertainty that was quickly replaced by a steely exterior, his muscles tightening to hold him firm and his eyes watching in a openly wary look.

He half expected the boy to come rushing him with some need to prove himself since he was from Spirane and Arthfael wasn't, yet instead he is met with a friendly figure. Instinctively the moment Viserion's tail begins to sway back and forth so does Arthfael's and his ears prick once more as he waits for the boy to get closer. "Hello," he rumbled back, his voice deep like that of his fathers. Viserion does not tell him to back off to to stop - no, instead he falls besides Arthfael and immediately his muscles unlock as he begins to walk sedately forward. It seemed that it was his lucky day and he would also have someone to explore with. No doubt this boy knew much of this place and Arthfael would pick his brain!

"Yes, how did you know? Have you been there before?" He is curious to know, really, because he has only been to Taviora and Asteraia. He missed his plains home with a pang, memories of his time frolicking with his family a constant reminder of how times had changed. Now father was off doing... whatever father was doing and mother had been busy as of late. "I'm Arthfael. My mother used to live here and my aunt does now. Ailith. My sister came to visit at story time. Wish I had been here," he adds with a sort of half-sigh half-grump manner. "Was the story any good?" They were still children after all and it does not take but a beat before he warms up to his new found companion, still padding deeper into Spirane with the prince at his side and curiosity on his mind. "She told me there were caverns around here somewhere. I just wanted to see for myself what this place was like."
