(More of a pouch on his belt than a satchel, but the effect is the same either way)

Arcturus laughed as Bane tried to get at his pouch, only to be denied by the wards placed on it. Just as Nix hadn't been able to steal from it earlier, Bane couldn't get it away from him.

He did manage to pick Arcturus up completely off the ground. The horse-sized hound pulling at something on his belt pulled the Elf out of his seated position and left him dangling from Bane's mouth for a moment.

He managed to bite back the yelp that almost escaped him.
Arcturus had fought beasts much bigger than him. This was play, so no pain, but still.
The metal on his arms flowed to create small chains, which looped over Bane's back. He pulled himself up, using the leverage to get himself away from those huge jaws, and swung onto Bane's back. He, like most Elves, was super light, a featherweight to someone as strong as Bane. He was only up there a moment, before leaping clear across the room, the chains releasing and following him.
Arcturus spun in the air and landed facing Bane, crouched and grinning.

(Just started school today ✌️I hate it)

Bane sneezed, determination crossing the wolf’s face. He started to shake his head, trying to detach the pouch from Arcturus’ belt. And in turn, he shook the poor elf around. Bane had a strong jaw and, therefore, a strong hold. Whines came from his throat. His massive tail wagged, shaking his body along with it. His ears were constantly switching between perked and flattened. The puppy was rough when it came to playing—so one would watch out for those enormous teeth.

And when Arcturus looped chains around the hound's back? He growled, the heavy sound vibrating against his throat. But lucky for the elf, Bane opened his mouth to bite at the chains looped around him. He didn’t exactly like it. He didn’t like being restrained— even if it was slightly. With Arcturus now free from the hellhound, Bane tried to shake the elf off of him. He didn’t welcome being ridden like a horse. Trying to bite the elf, he was confused when the elf vanished. Then he look in front of him and knocked the elf over with his nose. Or at least tried his best. And laid down, head in the elf’s lap. Bane glanced over at Leila and Sutechi, waiting for more pats.

Arcturus had braced his feet, so Bane didn't quite knock him flat, but the weight of the hound's head landing in his lap pinned him. He managed to get into a comfortable enough position to sit there a while.
"So, Taeth. What made you set us free from the jail cell?"

He thought for a moment, a bit startled as he had been brought back from his thoight spiral back into the actual conversation.
"Huh..? Oh, i just was escaping myself before I saw you guys all in the cell and decided to help you out I guess. There's not really much to why, as it was just a happen to have time so I did."
He shrugged as he spoke, running a hand through his hair as he let out a sigh.

Arcturus nodded. "Much appreciated." He looked over at Nix. "Do you speak, friend? Haven't heard you say much." The goblin reminded him of some of the darker creatures he was constantly fending off in the forest, but he was determined to keep an open mind as he sat there with a Hellhound's head in his lap.

Leila removes herself from the vicinity of Bane and Arcturus when they start playing and looks at Taeth.

"You freed them? No offense, but you're bone and string." she replies.

He rolled his eyes at Leilas comment about what he looked like.
"Yeah well I don't have to have a ton of muscule to know how to pick a lock and sneak in and out of a prison." He spoke, looking away from Leila as he spoke. He scratched at the stitches on his neck.

Arcturus called over, "He did get us out quicker than chewing the bars or kicking down the door, or trying to convince Sardoth to let us out."

Bane yawned from the indistinct conversation chittering around him. The hound turned to lay on his side, letting out a huff. He booped Arcturus’ hand with his nose, trying to get the elf’s attention. The hound closed his eyes, falling asleep in Arcturus’ lap and instantly become a furnace. The young hound had enough of the squabbling.

Leila sighs at Taeth. "Couldn't that wire of yours just - schick - right through the door?"

She calls back to Arcturus. "That last option would be the funnest, I promise."

Arcturus shrugged at her. "Broke some ribs trying so. I don't know." He looked down and rolled his eyes at the sleeping hound.

"It's not wire, it's not made from a material it's made from pure light and energy. Also no, I can't just, -schick- it through the door." He grumbled as he crossed his arms.

The elf nodded as he listened. Taeth sounded incredibly powerful if properly motivated, and Arcturus was glad he hadn't antagonized the stitcher.

Bane, in the mean time, had rolled onto his back, puffing air out of his nose. His back leg started to twitch and he made a few faint noises. Just a tiny Hellhound nightmare. Bane liked using the elf as a pillow, especially since they seemed to be friends now. He trust to keep Arcturus safe, that’s why he fell asleep in his lap. Hellhounds don’t let their guard down often.

But soon enough, things got boring again. Nix scooted away from Bane, finding the hellhound in his canine form to be rather nerve-wracking and threatening. They then took out their knife and played with it between their fingers a little.
Then the elf’s silvery, haughty voice caught their attention. Turning to face him, Nix tilted their head, their ears twitching with something that may have been annoyance. “Nothin’ to say,” they growled out, not meaning to be outwardly hostile but some aggression still carrying in their voice. “Wants to get out.”

Arcturus nodded at Nix. "Agreed." He'd not been sure if the goblin was a communicator or not, but knowing the creature was thinking, and thinking normal things, helped him get past a little of his xenophobia.

Bane woke up, turning onto his belly. It was a small puppy nap, but I was needed. The pup was exhausted after all the drama floating around him. He stood up, freeing Arcturus from his weight. Stretching, he sat next to Arcturus, gaining an interest in the goblin. Bane sniffed Nix to get familiar with the goblin's scent. He didn't like it. He licked Arcturus' face, trusting the elf the most. He treated Arcturus like a packmate, except the elf probably didn't like being groomed by a hellhound. But Bane thought the elf to be slightly messy.
