Despite the fact that a lot of people lately seemed to be badmouthing the Tanglewood territory – or at least, were thinking rather harshly of it – Aurum found that he had come to rather love the muddy, damp, and humid territory that the group inhabited. Sure, the mud still stuck unpleasantly to the angel's fur, to the point where sometimes he felt like he was more mud than lion, but for the most part he could usually avoid that by just flying over the more swampy areas, or moving from log to log to carefully traverse the territory. That didn't exactly work for everyone but it worked for him, and he didn't really think that the territory was as terrible as everyone had been saying lately. The town was a little ramshackle and the lands around it weren't perfect, but that was what gave it character, and Aurum had lived in a gleaming character-less city for most of his life, and it had been an absolute shithole, so he vastly preferred here. Whether or not it was necessarily a fun vacation spot? Well... that remained to be seen, since it wasn't as if Aurum had ever gotten the idea to just pack it up and go to vacation in another group. Sure, he had a close relationship with the Typhoon, and had even had a dual membership with them at one point, but one could hardly consider that a vacation. Ears perking up with interest when Lemy's voice shouted through the trees, the large angel gave a couple of flaps of his wings, soaring over to where Crowley was and landing firmly beside the feline, brushing their pelts together a little as he settled against the ground again. Be rumbled softly as he let his one eye roam over Lemy's face, as well as the rest of him, his voice a little non-hostile growl from the back of his throat, "Hello... I'm listening too." Who was he? Well, Lemy didn't know that yet, but the Captain would be happy to introduce himself once the Elysite explained his personal business with the swamp dwelling group.

Aurum could swear that he was having flashbacks to Feza's joining the moment that Lemy opened his mouth, a veritable river of words leaving the excitable Elysite's words as he spoke to both Crowley and the Captain of the Guard, who tried his best not to recoil. Sure, the angel was pretty extroverted, and he had become far better at dealing with people like Feza, but this was definitely something that had caught him off guard, and he found himself babbling softly when Lemy thanked them all for being so nice, "Er, no problem. You're welcome." Truthfully, Aurum didn't think that Tanglewood exactly had any rules about visiting or vacation. It wasn't something that had happened particularly often in the past, and thus there weren't any established rules about it yet to reference. He just sort of assumed that all rules that applied to full Tanglers would apply to the visitor for the time that they stayed, and they'd get their ass kicked out if they tried to do any stupid bullshit. And, considering that Leroy wasn't around and Aurum wasn't gonna go wandering off to find the hound right now in order to ask him when he was probably off doing something far more important, Aurum decided to just trust his gut on this one.

A faint snort left the Captain as Crowley pointed out the discrepancy in the whole "pet rock" comparison, before he looked down at Crowkey, returning the shrug with a sheepish smile. The lion then turned to Lemy, rumbling as his tail flicked back and forth behind him, offering the Elysite a soft smile, "Well... I suppose it would be fine for you to stay here for a little while, provided you're able to follow all the same rules that the rest of us are. All pretty standard stuff, no killing, hurting, or stealing, help out around the group, try not to be too much of a dick... provided you can do all of that, you can stay for as long as you want. Provided we're not gonna have any issues with Rin and Elysium with you here." He tilted his head to one side as he thought of the still somewhat new Elysium leader, wondering how she felt about this... somehow Aurum had a feeling that she wasn't even aware of it, "Anyways, I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Aurum, and I'm the Captain of the Guard here in Tanglewood. If you need anything important, you can come looking for either me or Leroy, the leader around here." He was sure that Lemy would meet Leroy before too long, but he just wanted to make sure the feline had someone to go to in case of trouble before then, or when Leroy was busy.

Lemy was certainly an.... interesting character, to say the least. It seemed as though he had energy to rival even the likes of Feza, and that was something that wasn't easily achieved by anyone. Aurum found himself vaguely wondering if Lemy was also into throwing parties, before he shook the thought away, feeling almost nauseous. Two Fezas trying to go around and throw some big poorly planned event? Just the thought made the Captain's head spin, and he nearly missed the arrival of Kaz, the cheetah evidently not a big fan of big personalities, even if he hid it well. Aurum offered a firm not to the cheetah once he snapped out of his thoughts, only to hear Lemy's frantic words once again targeted towards him. Trying his best to keep up, the lion slowly nodded his head and let out a soft snort, amused by the whole line about the level of dickitry that Lemy could pull, "Ah... I'm glad that Rin is alright with this. I unfortunately haven't had much of a chance to talk to her very much..." Despite being an ambassador to Elysium, he felt very put of touch with them, a fact that he hoped to remedy at some point. Perhaps Lemy could help with that? Filing that away as a thought for later, the Captain then continued, rolling his shoulders to attempt to relax a bit, "And don't worry, we tend to be pretty lenient around here about attitudes, provided you don't kill anybody." They had plenty of members that were a bit rough around the edges, but... they were family, and family didn't hurt each other, no matter what.

The use of the nickname "Aurie" caught Aurum off guard, mainly due to the fact that he had never heard it before, but it had a strange level of familiarity for someone he had just met, a fact that made him vaguely uncomfortable. Although, it seemed as though Lemy had a very good track record of making people uncomfortable, if the current look on Kaz's face was anything to go by. Opting to ignore the nickname so that n feelings were hurt, Aurum just let out a vaguely strained chuckle before rumbling, his head tilting to one side, "That sounds very... interesting. I'm sure it'll be fun." It really, really didn't sound that fun, but Aurum had already seen in the past what happened when you took a fun-loving person and crushed their dreams, and it was far from pretty. He had no intent of repeating any of his old Feza incidents, no matter how much his skin crawled at not making a fuss. The mention of Leroy made Aurum blink in surprise slightly, but he supposed it did make sense. After all, their allies would have to be notified of the change of leadership, and who would be better at that than the leader himself? Nodding his head a little, Aurun found himself glancing towards camp, wondering if perhaps Leroy was there, or if he was off somewhere else making plans. At the very least, he was taking initiative, and that made Aurum happy, "Ah, I'm glad to hear that you've met him before. I'm sure he'll be... very pleased to have you around." The lion then took his chance to sit back a bit, just watching the interatlction between Miller and Lemy with a faint air of amusement about him. Kaz seemed to be pretty good at faking neutrality... Aurum bet that it was the whole military attitude thing he had going on. Lemmy then swiveled his attention over to Crowley, who hadn't spoken in several moments. Aurum was fairly sure that was purposeful, since he was pretty sure Lemy could exhaust the demon in just a few sentences, but he still found himself looking at Crowley with a crooked smile.
