i was born, on the highway, in a train wreck
with a heart, that was beating, out of my chest
It wasn't exactly surprising to Aurum that the next to arrive at Moth's little return was Selby, considering he had very much been present for their little gushing of feelings to each other when Selby had first been injured. He glanced sympathetically over at the male, very much able to imagine how he was feeling, before he returned his one eyed gaze to Moth. Part of him wanted to step away and give them some privacy, but a larger and slightly more selfish part of him decided to stay, mainly because he had missed his sister a hell of a lot too.
He watched as Moth's face flicked through several different expressions at once, clearly a little confused over the worry and relief that both Aurum and Selby had in their voices. When Moth spoke up, Aurum found himself pausing, a great deal of different feelings passing through him as well. A soft expression came to his face after a moment, one that seemed to be not quite pity, but definitely something very sad. Moving forward a little bit Aurum pressed his forehead against his sister's shoulder, rumbling softly, "Moth..." He seemed to be at a loss for words for a long moment, struggling with how to explain to his sister how long she had been gone. Eventually he just sighed heavily, his claws digging into the ground beneath him and pushing up dirt, "Moth... you haven't been gone a week. Nobody has seem you in a month. You missed Christmas. And New Year's Eve..." He couldn't imagine the shock Moth must've been feeling, especially if she hadn't even realized how much time had passed, but he needed to be honest. If he just played along to spare her feelings... well, not only would it be lying right to her face, but it probably wouldn't work very well, considering Christmas had passed weeks ago. Hopefully she'd be able to remain somewhat calm despite the circumstances, with both he and Selby here to support her.
