i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
Aurum would be lying if he said that he didn't enjoy having Roy around the house with him. After weeks of anxiously awaiting the raid that would let him rescue his son, and suffering through the hurt that had hit him when Roy had attacked him in the Pittian camp, it was amazing to have the tiger back again. Sure, perhaps Roy had been a bit shaky at first, still working through the discoveries he had made within the Pitt and while he was on the border, sobbing through his flames, but that was alright. Aurum had his times before when he just wanted to be silent and enjoy the company of those that he cared about, without necessarily needing to fill every second with conversation. He imagined it was quite the same with Roy, who seemed perfectly happily just gorging himself on the writings within the books that Aurum had gathered for him. There were one or two times where they just laid together and talked, Roy seemingly trying to adjust to the idea of having a family that really cared for him, beyond just a brother that he no longer had. Aurum never minded explaining things to Roy, or talking to him about the new family dynamic that the two of them shared, instead finding it to be a pleasant and calming experience. Honestly, without the flames, Roy's presence was just calming in general – although perhaps that was just because he had missed the other so much.
Although Aurum had been showing Roy around gradually on his little tours with his adopted son, he had known that soon enough, Roy would want to go out and explore on his own. The guardsman didn't mind that, knowing that even the young tiger would want a sense of being able to be on his own without his father's watchful eye. This meant that Aurum was willing to let the boy go off on his own... somewhat. Upon arriving to his house to find the note left behind by the tiger, the male had glanced down for a long moment, before a wash of anxiety about his son being taken from him again ran coldly over his shoulders. Taking in a deep breath, Aurum made a decision right there, turning around and following after his son's scent trail. Once he was nearby, however, he flapped his wings, ascending into the trees and carefully moving from steady branch to steady branch. He followed from afar, flapping occasionally across the gaps when he ran out of trees. He made no move to stop Roy or speak to him, he just watched, wanting to make sure that Roy was safe.
