AURUM
DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHIT !

The angel felt a faint frown curl upon his muzzle when he saw how Beck reacted to him, trying not to wince as the boy's form tensed even further. He couldn't imagine that was food for the other, but Beck was also a ghost, so perhaps he didn't have to worry about things like muscle strain – which felt ridiculous to think, considering Aurum had seen the other horribly wounded in the past. Thankfully for the both of them, they were soon not the only two people present near the edge of the camp where Beck sat. Leroy ambled his way over with one of his usual casual smiles, and the proxy felt himself relax considerably at the presence of another soul between he and Beck. He didn't really think that Leroy and Beck were that buddy buddy – at least not to the extent of Beck and some others – but at least the ghostly feline would feel more comfortable with the general there. As if confirming this, Beck seemed to work up his courage to tell the first of his two jokes. Aurum blinked for a moment, seemingly processing the ghost pun that had been directed his way, before he began to chuckle, shaking his head a bit. His laughter was soft and slightly tired, although not in a cruel way. He genuinely seemed amused, and he said as much, "Yeah, that was a good one, Beck." He still wasn't sure he really approved of Amaris calling anybody "lord," but now really wasn't the time to try arguing that.
After Amaris came Vathmos and Kiira, and the lion found himself laughing again when Beck told his second joke, his laughter coming out in warm chuffs of air. The ghost puns were exactly the kind of thing that you would expect from Beck, but that didn't make them bad. In fact, it only served to make Aurum smile wider, mainly because he knew Beck had probably legitimately been pleased when coming up with them. Upon feeling Vathmos's snout gently poking at his wing, Aurum easily lifted his large golden and red wing up, draping it casually over his friend's shoulders. After he did so, he nodded along with her, rumbling to Beck, "Yeah, another one sounds good to me. You're really good with ghost puns, unsurprisingly." He smiled casually at Beck, trying to put the ghost at ease from where he sat. He knew there were definitely some legitimate reasons for the unpleasant tension that always existed between them, but hopefully some of that could dissipate here, over little jokes.
