i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
The sound of Lemy's voice echoing out from the border wasn't exactly surprising, since it seemed as though the male had a strange affection for Tanglewood that Aurum was pretty sure rivaled that of the affection for his own home. In fact, it was more surprising for the source of the noise to be on the other side of the border, rather than within the thick swamp that Tanglewood inhabited. The Captain honestly hadn't been aware that Lemy had decided to leave from his vacation at some point, so when he heard Lemy loudly announcing that he was back, he felt a vague bit of confusion. Moving slowly up alongside Miller and Abathur, the winged lion rumbled as he sat back on his haunches, head tilted to one side, "You were ever gone?" The question may have been vaguely rude to anybody else, but honestly Aurum wasn't sure that Lemy would be able to detect the slightly tired tones of his and Miller's voices. Or, if he did in fact here said tone, if he would actually give a shit. Tail flicking back and forth absentmindedly, Aurum let his gaze find the letter that Lemy was grasping tightly, excitement shining in the Elysite's eyes as he wiggled around the envelope emblazoned with the Elysium mountain logo. He could only assume it was for them, or else Lemy was probably shirking his duty to head to another group just to visit them... that wouldn't have entirely surprised the angel either. Taking a deep breath, the Captain of the Guard suggested softly, adding onto Miller's silly little addition with a more serious one of his own, "I can really only assume you're inviting us to something... unless Rin dropped dead and you're here to tell us that you guys have yet another leader." He really hoped that wasn't the case, since he had enjoyed Rin's company on the couple of times he had met her for ambassador missions. Worse yet, he wasn't even sure who could take over if she did drop dead, and the awful possibility of Lemy stepping up to her position made a wave of worry rush over him. Oh god, Elysium was going to die if he was in charge. Hopefully, Aurum had been right in his first assumption, and it was just an invitation to some fun social event they had come up with. Or at least, that's what he was praying.
