[ARVID R.]

Laeglin. It was a pretty nice name, at least in Arvid's opinion. Not only that, but it seemed the canine wasn't the only one who thought Aphra could stand to cheer up a bit. With a feeling of warm happiness filling his chest, the dire wolf's tail thumped rhythmically against the ground behind him as he spoke, "Nice to meet you, Laeglin! Like everybody said, it should be just fine for you to stay here..." The canine had to admit that he was curious about the family connection between Laeglin and Devraj. However, he held his tongue for the moment. He knew that incessant questions could annoy some people, and it could be considered rude to ask invasive questions about family. So for a moment, he just sat and listened to what was going on, watching as others gave their own introductions to Laeglin.

As Sojourn arrived, Arvid found himself suddenly struck with an idea. It wasn't exactly groundbreaking, but the kingpin's mention of loyalty had gotten it stuck in his mind. With his tail still wagging, the pup turned back towards Laeglin, questioning casually, "Do you want somebody to show you around? I haven't been around all that long just yet, but I've been exploring the territory a lot. I can give you a little tour." What better way to inspire loyalty in someone than to show them all that their new home had to offer? Sure, things were a bit on the messier side at the moment because of the mudslide, but that didn't seem to be too much of a problem. Laeglin had even said that they were used to mud, after all!
