Vathmos did not know much about Aurum's past. She couldn't recall discussing it in detail with him. The hyena knew a few things about his life before Tanglewood- a bad mother, a brother... both of which were out of Aurum's life now.
Maybe, in Vathmos' eyes, they only had eachother. Aurum, no doubt, with his postition and time, had more than Vathmos. Perhaps, the lion had found a safety net in Tanglewood the hyena herself had yet to discover. Aurum had more than Vathmos, so why did he bother with her? Especially after she left for so long?
Her ears perked as she heard Aurum speak, her shoulders squaring and head lifting. Vathmos hated the idea of Aurum seeing her in a vunerable way, yet here she was now, spilling all her secrets to him. The hyena huffed as he called her a valuable asset. She could agree to that. Vathmos prided herself on her strength and ferocity. She turned back towards him. "I was number eight in my tribe. You know that? Out of forty or more hyenas, I was number eight. Then it was all gone in a flash of lightning." A sigh. "It brings me shame, Aurum."
"I can't belong anywhere, Aurum. I can't claim myself to be from somewhere."
// see now here's where Aurum can tell Vathmos that Tanglewood can be her home
