hop, skip, and tremble [o, reappearance]

[wormwood.]

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

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

Bink was... well, pretty much exactly as Aurum had remembered him. It had been ages since Aurum had first met the tiny bird, considering the corvid had joined – or rather just shown up on their border – only a few days after the lion had first joined. It was definitely a blast from the past, but far from an unpleasant one. Watching as Bink blinked wide eyes at him, Aurum chuckled a bit when he finally saw recognition in the tiny orbs, and his old name was stumbling clumsily from the bird's beak. Nodding his head, Aurum said warmly, glad to see that he hadn't been forgotten, even if they had only know each other briefly, "Ah, yep, you got it right! Although I changed my name a little while ago, to Aurum. Wormwood didn't really feel as though it fit anymore... it's good to see you again too, Bink." He was fairly sure he knew what Bink was going to ask about when the other male's eyes fell on his bandages, but the question was interrupted by the arrival of Abathur, who evidently scared the living shit out of Bink. Aurum let out a soft grunt as the tiny bird went scrambling behind his leg, clinging to it like an absolute lifeline to keep him safe, but he couldn't help the amused smile on his face. It seemed as though everyone was petrified when they first saw Abathur, but Bink had special reason to be, given his frailty and small size.

Watching as Bink dealt with the leaf upon his head, the lion recognized Lemy coming up out of the corner of his eye, and immediately his heart sank. Of all the people top come up next, it really had to be one of the most excitable ones in Tanglewood at the moment, huh? Sure enough, Lemy came bouncing up with a grin and a loud exclamation, and Bink went scrambling backward, leaning further into Aurum's leg. The Captain smiled and gently wrapped a paw around the small bird protectively, rumbling as he looked down at him, "As you can see, Tanglewood has gotten a few new members since last time you were here... although Lemy here isnt a joiner, he's just our very excitable joiner." He flicked his tail over at Lemy, who evidently seemed absolutely delighted by the appearance of the minuscule corvid. Aurum didn't really know what Elysium was like, putting aside his one visit as an ambassador to them, so he had to imagine that stuff like this wasn't a regular occurence over in the mountains, or Lemy wouldn't be so utterly delighted... or perhaps Lemy was just always like that.
