i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
Aurum honestly couldn't really imagine what it must've been like to be a kid and have to introduce yourself to everyone. After all, when he had been born, he had already pretty much known everyone in the group thanks to his family, and when he had finally had to introduce himself to others, he had long since been an adult. So honestly, he did have to admire the calm way that Piers was handling everything, even if he was a bit direct with Kaito. If the guardsman had known that Piers was impressed with his coat that was a splash of several bright colors... well, he probably would've been both flattered and amused, since it wasn't as if Piers was particularly uninteresting to look at. Sure, the child had much more muted colors than Aurum, but the colors suited him, and he had a rather interesting pattern that was certain to catch attention as he grew up and interacted more with everyone else. Still, the wings were one thing that the angel couldn't deny were still unusual to most other animals within the group. They were just natural to him now, despite the fact that the sight of a lion with wings was still enough to give whiplash to most others within Tanglewood that had just met him. When Piers told the guardsman not to call him little one, the angel blinked before chuckling softly, "Oh, I apologize, Piers. It's just sort of an instinct now." He automatically felt a desire to protect and care for any of the younger members of the group that he met, and certainly thought of them as "little ones," even if they didn't think of it that way. Aurum's wings were shifting upon his back when he heard Piers's second comment, a chuckle leaving the guardsman as he regarded the camp around him with his one good eye, "I suppose it has been getting a bit worse for wear around here, what with everyone preparing for the raid. A bit of cleanup should be in order."
