Hideaway Strath No stranger to pain, though it lessen's some.

Absolutely fine. He loves her

Artok was many things, but one thing he prided himself on above all else, was being a man of his word. He had promised Miss. Arlette that he would do as asked. And even despite his heavy fondness for her, he would've anyway. But that helped, certainly.

He heard his name and turned his head and he frowned for a moment and then spoke quietly. You can call me Artok.

He choked on the name a little. He had not given out that nickname since he was a pup, and never in the Teekon. Arlette wouldn't understand the seriousness of what he gave her or how much he had to trust her to share that one with her. But it felt right.

His tail wagged too, and he smiled at her. Full bodied and warm, made his eyes light up for a brief moment. It was not often he turned his full smile on anyone. He nodded firmly, back to business.

Alright. Lead the way.
