[ PUTTING THE DOG TO SLEEP ❧ JOINING ]

[wormwood.]

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

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

Aurum was quite glad when his words of encouragement and reassurance seemed to reach through to Adelaide, even if it didn't really seem as though the female was too overwhelmingly worried about the gators. Perhaps she was, deep down, but it was difficult to tell really, given how chipper she seemed to be even as she jumped up from her injuries. She already reminded him of Feza, even if she wasn't quite as shrill and loud, and he wasn't sure if he should dread the day when the two females found each other and connected... probably. Taking a deep breath, the proxy just gave a slight nod of his head when Adelaide introduced herself, silently filling her name away for later when he noticed what Snarl was planning on doing. He could definitely understand wanting to get the injured new joiner to somewhere where she could rest, but he highly doubted it would be fun for both Adelaide or Snarl if they went through the rather clumsy process Snarl seemed to be contemplating committing to. Quickly moving over to the other side of Adelaide, the angel rumbled softly to Snarl, looking at her with a faint worried frown on his face, "If it would be easier for everyone, I can assist Adelaide in getting to town. I'm large enough that she can ride on my back without exacerbating her injury, and I doubt that either of you want to possibly injure yourselves more navigating the swamp like that." He could really only hope that Snarl's stubborn pride didn't get in the way of him trying to help, since this just seemed like the most simple and easy option to him, and he didn't want the hyena thinking that he thought of her as weak. Sure, technically Aurum himself wasn't in the best shape of all time at the moment, but he wasn't a pushover either, and it just seemed natural to him that he could do what he had done so many times for others for Adelaide as well. Hell, he had even carried both Moth and Selby on his back at the same time while injured before, so it wouldn't exactly be the worst or most overwhelming experience he had ever had in his life, even if that wasn't necessarily a good thing.
