Worm jumped a little bit when he heard Delilah's soft voice, having been frozen in nervousness after speaking to Indie. As he looked over at her, he chuckled and said with a little smile, "Ah, everything's alright, Del. Miss Indie here was just looking for someone, so she was calling out." He then heard Indie's comment about him being handsome, and found that he wanted to hide his burning fur beneath his paws. As a result of the way his cubhood had been, he was far from used to getting so highly complimented, and he found his wings twitching along his back as a result, itching to cover his cheeks. Instead, however, he just smiled a bit and said as he nodded, feeling father flattered that Indie thought he was handsome – after all, he may not have been interested in her that way, but he would have been an idiot to think that she wasn't very beautiful, "Thank you, very much... I can only hope that some others feel the same way about how I look." He laughed at his own little comment, although there was a faint sad lilt to it, mainly due to the fact that there was really only one person that Worm found he wanted to notice how handsome he was... someone who he doubted that would ever happen with. His tail twitched anxiously at the thought, and he quickly shook his head of those depressing thoughts, instead focusing on Delilah.
When the other feline mentioned coming with them – along with after Wormwood saw Indie's very entertaining reaction to Delilah arriving on the scene – the guardsman dipped his head to Del and said as he touched one of his wings to her back, "As Indie said, you're perfectly free to come with us, Del. More people to welcome in new members or guests are always welcome, of course." He knew that Indie would be barking up the wrong tree if she expressed her interest in Delilah, but that didn't mean it wasn't cute. Plus, it wasn't as if he knew Del's sexuality, given that he had never delved much into that line of questioning – however, he did know just how smitten Delilah was with Ren, and them having a kid now had only succeeded in deepening that love. Still, it wasn't his business to get in the middle of, so instead he just turned and began to lead the two towards the main town, moving towards the steadily getting stronger scent of Tanglewood, gently putting his tail against Delilah's tail to tell her that he was trotting along. The trees slowly began to thin as they grew closer to the square of buildings that made up their main camp, and he found himself smiling as they got closer, feeling safer by the minute.
