Fate made his brows raise. He noted it. He'd have to bring it up again some time, that much he knew. After all, he had met somebody that might have been much the same though his mind had not wandered to her in several moons - he had been distracted but it seemed this Arturio man had not been. So, there was some stock in fate, hm? He wanted to laugh but he resigned to otherwise, sticking to his silence instead as the other moved with him. It had been so long since he had been gifted with a conversation that did not end in conflict, no? He ought to revel in it while he could lest he get tempted to see Aster and her teeth again any time soon.

When Arturio paused, Elohim moved several strides ahead before he too paused, looking back over his shoulder with an amused grin. "Would you describe yourself as honorable, Arturio?" Though it was mostly a rhetorical question for Elohim had already decided to do so for him: he didn't understand honor but he imagined it was that. Once the other had caught up to him, he began to move again with an amused sigh. "Her children were born to my father though I was not born to her. One might say that fact means she is closely watched - guarded, even. That's why I'm keeping you moving." He grinned, a brow lifting up at Arturio before he turned forward once more with a shrug.

"I thought you might wish to know," he stated flatly, an ear twisted back in the belief that he had heard a twig snap, "and I suppose I was right, no? You would have grown curious one way or another." They reached the peak of a dune then and Elohim paused with a loud inhale as he drew in a breath of salt, the ocean now stretched out before them. "You have been honest with me," he stated once more, his voice flat before he turned to the other, squared to him now rather than beside, "and so I ought to be honest with you, I suppose."

He waited, almost for himself, to see if the other grew suspicious or curious though he understood the two often co-existed. Besides, it felt unusual to him to verbalize his honesty for once - in fact, for the first time. But he had been given to like this wolf despite their differences, or rather despite Arturio's honor. "Your presence has been noted here but I wished to be the first to find you. See, I seek alliances within my home. They are difficult to come by. I thought it curious that you intrude without malice nor ill intent and I thought, perhaps, it would make you a good ally." He no longer grinned nor jested but rather, he had returned to his usual passive expression, his honesty dead pan. Blunt, he supposed, one might call it. But he wondered just how things might go - would he have his father's suspicion after this? Ah, but it would test Arturio's nature one way or another.
