DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHIT !

Lord Aurum. Just the sound of it made an unpleasant shiver go down the lion's spine, and he immediately never wanted to be called that again. It reminded him far too much of the way that the old advisors back in the pride would address him, all forced smiles and honey sweet words to get on his good side. Only somehow it was even worse, because Amaris said it, and now she was looking for work to do for him. He stared at her, wide eyed, before quickly shaking his head, his ears pinning down briefly against his skull. He had briefly heard her supposed "name", but it wasn't actually anything close to a name for him, and soon enough Virgil was stepping in to help with that. Aurum lifted his head once again to listen, his head tilting to one side as Virgil offered a name in her language. It was a sweet and soft one, and seemed fitting for the child in front of the two of them. Nodding his head, the proxy rumbled softly in agreement, "Yeah... Amaris. That sounds like a nice name for you. Er, if you wanna take it. Instead of just... that." It sounded disturbingly like a serial number to him, and he felt a little bit of bile rise up in his throat that he forced down.
With the name situation potentially taken care of, Aurum decided to focus on the whole thralls thing. Shaking his head again, the lion managed to get out slowly, "I'm not... don't call me Lord Aurum, alright? My name is just Aurum. And I don't have any thralls, alright? We don't force people to do work around here. Tanglewood is a group where we all choose to be here, and we work to help the group as a whole. We don't have... slaves, or whatever it is you were." It was a little blunt for his tastes, but she didn't really seem to get it when he tried to be subtle, so he had yo be straightforward for her sake. They didn't keep people around just to do things for them, or to hurt them. They weren't the Pitt.
