AURUM
DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHIT !
[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]
CV's behavior... well, it immediately set off alarms in Aurum's head as soon as she saw him. Despite his gentle worrying and reassuring smile, she was fidgety and nervous, and the chain around her leg seemed to clang even louder with each movement when he thought about it. She reminded him of when he was younger, but somehow even more twitchy and fragile, a feat he hadn't thought possible after months of abuse. What exactly had happened to the poor girl? Aurum wanted to wrap her up in blankets and offer her some cocoa just so that she could share her story in a place that was safe and secluded, where hopefully she could calm down. Unfortunately, the border wasn't that place, and soon enough someone else was approaching as well. Aurum offered a nod to Virgil when the painted dog came up beside him, his eyes still on CV as she spoke. When she asked what a name was, he found himself staring a little, shocked at the question. Virgil spoke up before long, and the proxy found himself nodding along, "Yeah, Virgil's right. Your name is whatever people call you... my name is Aurum." It seemed like such simple and basic information to him, but evidently this girl had been violently sheltered, to the point where she didn't even have a name. Did she even have one?
When CV asked what work there was to be done, along with a very phony smile and reassurance that she was fine, Aurum felt a frown pull at his muzzle, his head shaking from side to side. When he spoke up, he tried to be as gentle as possible, hoping that the girl would trust he and Virgil so that they could properly help, "There's... there's no work to be done. I mean, there is, but not for you. You look like you could use some rest. Besides, you don't even seem like you know what Tanglewood is..." His words were soft and worried, and his tail twitched a little behind him as he awaited her response, hoping that she would cave and admit she needed help. At the moment, however? Such a response seemed doubtful, if he was honest with himself.
