Feza's kazoo class... it had been an ill conceived experiment that had ended in failure that had happened very soon after Aurum had first joined the group. He could still remember the anger that had run hot through his veins when he had been woken up by the shrill noise of a kazoo just a little bit away from his house, and the way that he had snarled as he got up to his paws. It had been the first real time he had snapped at Feza, and everyone had practically heaped up criticisms and harsh words on top of her after that, with the exception of Crow. He felt bad for it now, but he still had the same criticisms of the activity he had back then – Feza had chosen a very poor time for the event to take place, made it as loud as possible, and had been awful at telling people what was going on. Perhaps he would have been less pissed off if he had known that Feza was going to host the class in the middle of the night, but instead he had just been given a strange flyer with extremely broken writing on it, that hadn't actually communicated anything to him. Ever since then, Aurum had hoped to god that Feza would never do anything along the same lines as that, since he was sure it would be a bad time just like it had been the first time. However, it seemed that Feza had at least made a few changes to make the event a little less rage inducing.
The guardsman had been out for a walk through the town, greeting people and making sure that everyone was alright after the huge raid on the Pitt, when suddenly he heard Feza's call, and his heart sank a little bit. His eyes instinctively flicked up at the sky, a feeling of relief flooding through him when he noticed that the sun was halfway through the sky, signifying that it was midday. At least this was a bit better than last time, when the snow leopard had decided to host the event when the moon had been gleaming in the sky. Taking a deep breath time brace himself for his fellow guards man's usual nonsense – he didn't hate her, but that didn't mean he particularly enjoyed every single event that she decided to set up – Aurum moved over, looking over the supplies that had been laid out for the class. He found himself a bit surprised, looking in confusion down at the balloons that were attached to the kazoos. Feza's shrill voice continued on once he had made his way over to the class, and his ears pinned down against his head, a soft sigh leaving him for a moment before he forced an almost nauseous smile on his face, "Hey Feza... you're trying this again, huh? Well... at least you're doing it in the daytime now. What, uh... what are the balloons for, exactly?" Despite the fact that he could remember the anger from the prior kazoo class experience, he couldn't remember the worries that other members had over the fact that some of them couldn't actually play a kazoo with their mouths – like Bink hadn't been able to. So honestly, when he looked at the balloons that were attached to the shrill instruments, he thought it was just some weird bad idea that Feza was going to show off in the worst possible way.
When he realized that Feza might've expected him to participate in the class, he hastily rumbled, gently pushing away the kazoo that was nearest to him and speaking in a neutral voice so that Feza wouldn't get upset, "I'll, uh... I'll just stay and watch, alright? Musical instruments aren't really my thing, and plus I'm sure you only have a limited amount of kazoos for people to play. I'll just, uh... I'll hang out, alright?" He was trying to play nice, especially considering what their last few interactions had been like. He could definitely see why Feza wanted to cheer the group up, considering recent events such as Leroy's death, but he wasn't sure this was the best way to go about it. After all, not everyone had the same sensibilities as Feza, and not everyone found the things she found entertaining to be all that fun, himself included. However, he wouldn't stop her or others from enjoying themselves – that would just be a dick move.
