AURUM
DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHIT !
[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]
Pain echoed unpleasantly now not only through Aurum's skull, but through the rest of his body as well, settling and burrowing deep into his muscles. The paws he currently held pressed firmly against his head helped relieve – or at least distract from – the pressure somewhat, but it was in no way a solution, and he found himself just glad he wasn't vomiting from the pain and the spinning of the world around him. The proxy had hoped that he could just get up, dust himself off, and attempt to pretend that this was still just a normal day, but alas it seemed like that wasn't in the cards for him today, when Feza came bounding over. He was less annoyed at her than he was at himself for being caught in such a prone position, but his voice still came out slightly sharp as he rumbled, "It's fine. I'm fine. I just got dizzy for a minute. I don't need any help." It sounded as though he was trying to convince himself of that at the same time, his words slightly strained. He reluctantly removed his paws from atop his head, pressing them downwards so that he could stumble into an upright position again. Just sitting up made the world give another unwelcome lurch, and a gruff snort of displeasure left him because of it.
He was going to wave Feza off, trying to think of some kind of excuse for the dizziness that he could use to get the Hypsi off of his back, when another clanmate approached, this one even worse. Aurum hadn't really wanted Kaito to see him like this, much as he didn't want Roy to see him like this either. He felt weak, and like he wasn't exactly setting a stunning example for them – even if Kaito wasn't technically one who he should be setting an example for. Sighing softly, Aurum put one of his paws back up against his head, gently drumming his claws against the stabbing pain in his temples and trying not to scowl. Shaking his head firmly after a moment, the lion spoke calmly to Kaito, trying to make it seem like he wasn't swaying in his seated position, ready to collapse again even without steps underneath him, "I don't need any water, Kaito. I'm alright. I just... I have a little headache, and it made me a bit dizzy going down the stairs. No big deal." The angel really wished that it honestly could be no big deal, so that he wouldn't be squinting his one eye in pain against the mid morning sunlight.
