Siborno could recall that Sophiea had decided to let him borrow the record player and he was quite grateful though he did not know of any good songs so Sophiea had been kind enough to find him a few records that he would like. He had played a few while drinking tea especially this morning, the large tiger would rock back and forth with the teacup in his large paws. He was almost dozing off to the music though he would jolt upwards, Siborno thought he should probably change the music so he did. The large beast would set his teacup aside as he hummed along to the melody, this one had an upbeat tune to it though he wasn't able to enjoy it for long when the sound of knocking caught his attention. He wondered if it was one of the cubs though they normally barged right in, he took a deep breath forgetting to stop the record player already making his way to the door. A familiar voice brushed against his ears and caused his face to grow warm with his heart beginning to beat fast within his chest. It was his dear friend, Aurum, though friendship seemed beyond the two given the small cubs that stumbled around the town with both their surnames.

He could recall that night that the two of them let their emotions get the best of them or well, that's what he thought anyways. Blood would rush to his face feeling it growing completely warm at the memory itself, Siborno cleared his throat for a moment before he began to make his way over to his door and opened it slowly with the song still playing behind him. What he hadn't realized that it wasn't entirely instrumental so the moment he opened the door, he would look at Aurum offering a soft smile though he flinched when the the instrumental bit of the song had been interrupted by a singer. Damn you, Lou Rawls. Oh, that was rather unfortunate for the large tiger as his posture stiffened slightly. Perhaps he shouldn't take anymore song suggestions from the small British woman who had lent him the record player, he held his breath for a moment unsure of what to say. He didn't really fix himself up either since it was pretty early, his usually slicked back fur ruffled and his fur sticking out slightly. A messy rugged type of look.

It took him a moment to break away his gaze from the lion as he offered an awkward chuckle "S-sorry... Did not realize it had words... Soph let me borrow it." He used a claw to scratch lightly at his chin as he tried to figure out what else to say until the words Aurum said finally sank in, he would move from the doorway to let the lion inside "Yes, of course." Once the other had stepped inside would the large tiger close the door slowly only to inquire with a tilt of his head "Would you... Like some tea?" Siborno might as well offer a drink though he knew what this was about, his ears would press flat against his skull unsure of how this would go but hopefully for the best. After all, he did end up falling for his good friend... Would that make him a bad friend? The thought nipped at his mind while his heart would race within his chest.
