THE BINDING OF THEE ☆ thanksgiving dinner

[wormwood.]

i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck

with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest

Despite his apparent disinterest in food besides formerly indulging Aziraphale, both Crowley and Aurum had done a pretty great job with their big Thanksgiving dinner, and even Aurum could feel his stomach growling as he eyed the table of food, a smile on his face. The first to arrive soon after him was Crowley, and Aurum offered the demon a warm smile as the other sat behind him, his fluffy tail gently flicking against the fellini's back in greeting. He was glad that he had been correct in thinking the other might sit with him, an odd warm feeling crawling up and filling the space between his ribs just by having the other close. Despite the fact that he knew that Crowley had been becoming more and more open about being nice and actually allowing himself to feel things, there will still certainly things both of them kept locked away, but even with feelings being hidden, Aurum still found himself glad for the other's presence, rumbling softly to him in a teasing way, "Happy Thanksgiving, Crowley." He wouldn't mind if Crowley didn't eat much, or if the other didn't give thanks, he was just glad that he had decided to participate as well, and hadn't just disappeared as soon as the cooking duties were accomplished. Truly, as an angel, Aurum probably shouldn't have been as fascinated with the food as he was, but when you went years without knowing you were an angel and got into the habit of constantly eating because you thought you needed to... it kind of just stuck. And he wasn't planning on changing his habits now, not just because of his angelic revelation.

The next two to arrive on the scene were Feza and Delilah, and Aurum was incredibly unsurprised to see how happy Feza was at the little gathering. It was a bit of a broke reversal, having Aurum hosting the social event while Feza came over. She even seemed a little bit awkward at the realization that she wasn't the big party thrower in charge at the moment, but the lion didn't mention it, not wanting to ruin the moment or make the show leopard feel awkward. Instead he just muttering a thank you to her for the compliment on their setup, before grinning and nodding, "Yeah, you can just sit anywhere and get food. We'll say what we're all thankful for once everyone has settled and we have done food in our bellies." He supposed that was a nice enough compromise, since he didn't want to hold people's food ransom in order for them to give thanks. He the  looked over at Delilah, glad to see the dragoness out and about again. He wasn't aware of what had happened with Ren and their child, unaware that anyone was missing, but he had noticed the female hadn't been around as much lately, so he was glad to see her around. Flicking a wing in greeting, Aurum rumbled as he glanced at the carefully set table, "I'm glad you think it all looks nice... and don't worry, even if you're not hungry, you can hang around, and I'm sure we'll have leftovers for when you are." He had no doubt that they weren't going to finish off the huge amount of food they had laid out in one day, but finishing it all at once wasn't really the point of the holiday.
