spreading wings and taking flight -- assembly 07/04

CLONY
[ age mover of the oblivions ]

Clony’s last meeting that they’d attended had been a little while ago. They couldn’t quite remember if it’s been when they’d been sweared in, or when they’d watched and listened and kept to the back. Such a thing of course wasn’t able to happen this time. They’d settled within the crowd, settling from the constant bouncing that they normally did while standing on their feet. The hat the other was wearing brought them great interest. Something that they could probably ask about later, when there wasn’t a crowd and there wasn’t important announcements being given out. Being promoted, being acknowledged, it made the bat’s heart flutter with a solid burst of pride. “Oh. Oh! I’ll do my best! You can count on me!“ A sharp wag of their tail, then lifting up a little onto their toes. “And welcome to everyone new as well!“ They then chirp, swaying a little from side to side.

The idea of training gave them a glint of an idea, and so they tucked such away for later. It would take time nonetheless. Caved? Clony knee caves, they’d navigated plenty back where they had come from. If it wasn’t caves it was tunnels, if it wasn’t tunnels it was traps, if it as t traps it was dangerous nonetheless. “I’m down to train, and to explore some caves!“ They bounce once on their talons, ears raised. Still no swear song, a little bit disgruntled at such.

This would be Atbash's first assembly in Elysium.

It was different to hear others speaking of an 'assembly' as opposed to a meeting, but Atbash soon figured out that they both meant the same thing. It was refreshing for a change, in all honesty, and she briefly wondering if having some sort of uniqueness would have helped Snowbound. She missed her old friends in Snowbound, and missed the memories she made there - and had some regrets too. But now she was in Elysium, and she was going to start anew.

"I'm ready to swear in, Rin." Atbash stepped forward, her good eye looking up at the leader and giving her a smile. Her short tail stood up as straight as she was able to hold it, her ears angled forward. She was excited for a new life, honestly; maybe it could help her heal and realize that not everything was her fault.

A meeting. A meeting where he and the rest of his odd flock were being welcomed in, no less. It brought a smile to the lion's face as he made his way over, sitting not too far away from Atbash. He nodded his head along with the news, and appreciative noise leaving his throat when he heard his name called, along with Siborno's and Roy's. After a long moment, Aurum finally spoke up, his voice firm as he spoke directly to Rin, "I'll be happy to help out in expecting the caves... and I'd also like to swear in, please." He knew that perhaps he was a bit of an odd case, considering his dual membership with Tanglewood and all, but he still had blooming loyalty to Elysium, even this early on. This oath would just make that feeling official.

Walking over rather lazily, Siborno would arrive with both ears pressed flat against his head. So, the one with bandages over her eye spoke his name as well as other's, it confused him for a moment until he realized that she was welcoming them to the group. With a frown, Siborno made his way over standing near Aurum though not close since he didn't want to invade anyone's personal space. A soft breath leaving him and hearing that both Aurum and that tiny cat wanted to swear in... This was also something rather new to him and he knew not what to expect until Rin spoke. Something about strength and the community... The rest of it flew over the hybrids head but mostly due to the language barrier, that was frustrating but it wasn't directed to him so he would shrug it off for now as he would sit down slowly letting his tense muscles relax in that moment.

Truth be told, Aurum probably would've had himself a good little chuckle if he had known what was going through Rin's head at the moment. Both the rather funny – although cruel – irony of the eye situation, and the thoughts swirling in her head about Tanglewood. He probably would've laughed because of the fact that, well, nothing had really happened between he and Tanglewood. He had left, yes, but it hadn't been because he had done anything terrible, or had been exiled. He had simply needed time away, to grieve for the sibling he had lost without constantly being forced to walk by her home. It was a grim truth, but at least it was better than her thinking he was some sort of murderer or criminal. Plus, Aurum had every intention to return to Tanglewood, sometime soon. Not to abandon Elysium, but to share his alliance with both groups, and to help both as much as he could before he eventually met his ultimate fate. He hoped that ending wouldn't end up coming too soon, but there was really no way to expect the unexpected in this world, so he had to just... do his best to be of use while he was still around.

With this in mind, Aurum kept his ears up tall in attention as he listened to the speech Rin gave both he and Atbash, vaguely aware of Sib near his side as she did so. With a small smile upon his muzzle, the lion found himself dipping his head down in a nod, his voice a firm rumble as he answered, "I promise, Rin." It was a hefty promise to be making, especially at his first meeting within the group, but Aurum had never really been one to be flakey. Even when he ended up leaving because of something, he always ended up making a loyal return.
