Everything stays, right where you left it.
But it still changes, ever so slightly, daily and nightly.
Aurum looked on silently as Delilah spoke to Kaito, watching as the dragoness introduced herself to the teenager. He found himself smiling slightly, glad to see that Delilah could at least enjoy the appearance of a new child within the clan. However, the happiness was short lived. Del was delighted to see him, and that definitely warmed the angel's heart, a soft chuff leaving him as their foreheads were pressed together, but the warmth and happiness was soon followed up. Tears began to pour freely from the female's eyes, and the young proxy felt panic and pain grip him, sympathy warm in his one blue eye as he wrapped his paws around her, holding the other close to his chest. He wasn't going to let her just stay there on the ground, even if it was a little bit awkward to hold her in such a way. He nuzzled her gently atop the head, attempting to comfort her as he rumbled, "Delilah... I can't... I cant even imagine how you must be feeling. I'm sorry. So very sorry... I wish I could tell you where Ren and your child have gone..." And he really did wish he could. He wished that he could take away all of Delilah's pain, even if it meant taking all her suffering upon himself. Unfortunately, that was not how the real world worked, much to his chagrin. Far too many of his friends were suffering because of things that he couldn't fix, and it was starting to get to him, just a little bit.
Swallowing thickly, Aurum looked up when Indie approached, gently patting Delilah atop the head as she spoke in soft, and caring tones. Her motherly voice made even the angel relax slightly, and he gave her a grateful look when she caught his eye, glad that she had come to help. Once she was done giving her little speech, the proxy nodded along enthusiastically, continuing, "She's right, Del. You haven't been left behind here in Tanglewood. I know you've lost a lot. More than I could ever know. But... that doesn't mean you're all alone. You've got me, and you've got everyone else who still lives here in Tanglewood. I'm not leaving anytime soon, and I know a whole lot of others aren't going to either. Hell, we thought we lost Leroy, but what Indie says is true. He's back. It's great. It took a little while, getting used to him being leader instead of Crow, but... he's doing a good job. You'd be proud of him. He even made me proxy, so there's no way I'm going anywhere." He smiled reassuringly down at the pink dragon, trying his best to get across the warmth he felt in his chest when he was around her. Delilah was an amazing person, and an amazing mother, and someone who made him feel safe. He didn't want her to be in such pain.
