AND GOD, I KNOW I'M ONE / typhoon captain

[wormwood.]

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

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

Remembering the raid on the Pitt was always a bit of a sour experience for Aurum. On one hand, it had ended the raid of Jervis, gotten his child back, and had overall been a positive thing for everyone. On the other hand, he had let his emotions get the best of him, and it had led to a target being painted across his back for what felt like it q0uld be forever. Still, despite this, he liked to think of the event as an overall positive, since it meant that the Pitt was under the thumb of someone who actually gave a shit about morality, and that also hopefully meant that the Pitt wouldn't be stirring the pot as much with other groups. He knew from what he had heard that Goldie didn't want the Pittians to feel like she was suffocating them, since that would hardly make them want to change their ways or work with her at all, but he also knew that the Captain wouldn't take any shit that they tried to throw at her, or anything they tried to pull while she was in charge. Hell, Goldie being the temporary leader of the Pitt – along with the fact that he had seen that it was Goldie that he was facing – was the whole reason that Aurum hadn't simply attacked as soon as the rotten smell of the war bound group had reached his nose. Usually he was a diplomatic man who preferred to talk before anything as serious as battle went down, but the Pitt had been pushing firmly against his already frayed nerves lately, and he was sure it would only get worse if it wasn't for Goldie

Still, he was fairly sure that the Pitt wasn't the reason that Goldie was here right now, and he found himself smiling and chuckling warmly when the female responded to his joking statement with one of her own. Tail flicking absently behind him, Aurum said with a soft amused chuff to the female, sming crookedly, "I'm sure that's true. I mean, can Santa Claus say that he's the leader of one group and the temporarily leader of another group? I don't think so." Aurum's eyes flicked down curiously to the gifts that Goldie had with her as she mentioned them, nodding his head a little bit. Honestly he felt like any gift was a good gift, especially when it was given to Tanglewood by a group that really did care, so he didn't really mind that it wasn't much. It wasn't as if they were a bunch of greedy bastards just after presents... well, mostly. A soft thoughtful hum left Aurum's throat at Goldie's next question, and he hesitated before shrugging his shoulders a bit, his wings shifting with the movement, "We've been doing pretty well. I'm sure you've heard that Leroy is leader now, and I think he's been doing a pretty damn good job of it so far. Overall we've kinda just all been enjoying the holidays, trying to unwind after everything with the Pitt... got a couple of event invitations, but that's about as much excitement as there's been around here. Well... until you came along, of course. How've you been doing?"
