welcome to the masquerade // aurum

[wormwood.]

Everything stays, right where you left it.

But it still changes, ever so slightly, daily and nightly.

Normally, or at least from what Aurum had been able to pick up in the past, Kid was careful. Sure, he certainly loved to put on a show, and one couldn't exactly say that he didn't draw attention to himself, but that didn't mean he didn't always have a plan, and some flashy power to pull out of his sleeve in order to get away. It was infuriating, but it was something that proxy certainly had to give the little thief. After all, if Kid hadn't had some sort of back up plan for the situations he had ended up in thus far, he probably would've ended up captured, or worse. Of course, the worse would never come from Aurum, who had never thought once about legitimately harming the young thief. After all, why would he? Kid didn't hurt anyone in his heists, and while what he was doing was wrong, it wasn't something that couldn't be solved with a bit of diplomacy. And while there were certainly times where Aurum did feel like violence was necessary – say, when some Pittians showed up at the border – he didn't feel right making any sort of plans to maim or kill Kid. However, it seemed as though he would never again have to think about such drastic measures, thanks to the fact that Kid had become a bit... sloppy. Aurum wasn't exactly sure what had triggered it, but the gentleman thief had messed up just enough that the lion could actually track him, and he had eventually ended up leading him straight to... Kaito's house. Aurum's heart had sunk as he landed nearby, slowly moving to come up behind the other.

The frantic and angry yelling was not something that Aurum had been expecting when he had tailed Kid, and he found himself freezing for a moment, just watching as the male angrily paced around and made a rather lackluster effort to calm himself down. The angel couldn't exactly understand the meaning behind everything that the other was saying, but he still felt a little ache of sympathy, mainly because of the sheer sadness he could hear in the other's angry cries. He took a few more steps forward, his intentions not fully planned out yet, when Kaito actually turned to face him. He lifted his head up in slight surprise, his golden mane shifting a little as he listened to Kid's almost robotic little speech. It didn't sound like it had any real reason behind it, and it was obvious the thief was forcing it in order to not look weak and reveal his identity. However... there could really only be two explanations for why the angora was in front of Kaito's home, and if he was trying to steal from Kaito? Aurum would be very displeased. He hissed out softly, his eyes narrowing a little in the low light, "I did come out all the way here to talk to you. To find out who you are, considering you've been wreaking havoc on our town the last few weeks." His tail twitched slowly behind him, and he mumbled as he looked up at Kaito's home, "And I think I may have my answer... although really it just leaves me with more questions."
