A THOUSAND YEARS // thief time

[wormwood.]

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

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

What kind of absolute nonsense was this. Despite exhaustion tugging at his every limb and the very much still present soreness in his wounded chest, Aurum had made it a special responsibility of his to keep watch over Arrow's house that night, along with several others. With all of this stealing nonsense, Aurum wasn't particularly in a mood to just leave her unguarded and all alone, even if Arrow was the type to insist that she could keep her own shit safe. So, when Kaito finally came along and landed on Arrow's roof, the proxy was nearby, nearly asleep with how much his body was begging him to rest. His head whipped upwards when he heard the feline's call, and his eyes immediately narrowed in anger, a snarl leaving him. Spreading out his wings, Aurum ignored the prevalent exhaustion and ache as he took off,  flying up into the sky. He landed delicately onto the roof nearby, his one good eye ablaze as he faced Kaito down. The male seemed vaguely familiar in the back of Aurum's mind, even with all of the accessories, but he couldn't exactly put it entirely together, too focused on the task at hand. Tail lashing and twitching behind him, the lion rumbled lowly, his voice an intimidating and deep timbre as he spoke, "You... you're the one who left that note for Arrow, didn't you? I don't know who the hell you think you are, but you can very much fuck off now." Without giving any sort of warning, Aurum launched himself forward across the roof, attempting to barrel into Kaito and dig his claws into the other's sides. He would attempt to pin the other down, hoping to capture him so that he could be unmasked and judged accordingly. He wasn't going to risk using his fire elementals on the guy, both to spare Arrow's poor roof, as well as so that he wouldn't just end up killing him while attempting a capture. If this mysterious weirdo ended up being from some other group, that meant that Tanglewood could go to them and tell them that one of their members had been fucking with other groups and stealing things. And if it was someone from within Tanglewood? Well, ultimately it would be up to Leroy to decide, but one of the ultimate things Leroy was coming down on was not harming clanmates, and stealing shit from others was pretty damn harmful, even if it wasn't a real attack.

( sjfjdjg Kaito can dodge, obviously )
