Solitude was something that had proved itself to be almost toxic to Aurum. He was a naturally social creature, and whenever he found himself to be too overwhelmingly alone, it started to become a plague on his mental health. For the most part he had been able to avoid that lately, since he lived in the same house with not only Roy, but Kaito now as well. Moth's kidnapping had taken a toll on him, however, and he had begun to isolate himself. That was thankfully over, but shaking off the after shocks of it was difficult, especially with all of the tension thanks to Leroy's new rule, and Sam's subsequent leaving. For the most part, the angel was just trying his best to hold it all together, and start to get outside more. He had been neglecting his duties as the proxy, and that was never something that he wanted to do. Patrolling had become more difficult as of late, given the lack of wings on the form he was currently trapped in, along with the strange sickness that he seemed to have, but that didn't mean he was going to ignore it entirely. He would just push through, and pray to all that was holy above that he didn't end up puking on some poor unsuspecting joiner who was just trying to have a good day.

Aurum was unaware of Isaac really having anybody that cared about him, or anyone that he could truly be considered close to, honestly. He had never interacted much with the other, so his clanmate was sort of an enigma. All he really knew was that the other wore that strange mask, and seemed to be good with his paws. Beyond that? Nothing. It didn't even begin to occur to him that Zora could be someone related to the other as he padded up to her, the lean muscles of his tigon body rippling more prominently thanks to the strong female frame. He was so used to layers upon layers of shaggy mane covering everything. He still found himself wanting to shake it out, at times. At the moment, however, his focus was not on his own pelt. Rather, it was on the strangely glowing one of this newcomer. Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, the angel sat back on his haunches before he spoke, "Hey there, miss. You're on the territory of Tanglewood, so could I have your name and business here?" He offered Zora a soft smile after he finished, trying to reassure the female that she wasn't in trouble or anything. It wasn't really needed, however, considering his tone no longer carried that deep, threatening rumble by default.
