Arturio smiled, glad she was willing to use his name. Of course, he knew there were times and places to be serious. At least among his pack, he wanted them to feel as if they could trust him. Them using his name, rather than a title, helped to foster that. The white giant settled to his haunches comfortably, prepared to listen.
As she spoke, Solstice indicated she was not born of Asteraia. Ah, it was an assumption he had made. "I do apologize for that... Your bearing and demeanor made me think otherwise," he said. All the same, he still listened. A brief glean of her history. Taviora was truly home for her. From what he knew, it was a fair and good place to live. He wondered, perhaps, when Halcyon departed why she did not return there, even if she did not go with her imprint to Iromar. He would not press though.
He tilted his head slightly as she trailed off. Whatever had come to mind had spurred something in her thoughts, but he did not press. Arturio allowed Solstice her time as she came back around to the present. "Then, perhaps we can continue on that path? I know there are few that need a watchful eye on them, but perhaps down the road. I hope you continue to feel this is still home, even with the change," the man said, maintaining his warm smile. Perhaps Spring would bring new life to Asteraia. Or someone needing a friendly watchful eye. From how she spoke, Arturio felt it was a good thing she was here.
