AURUM
DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHIT !
[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]
Aurum had definitely taken notice of Abathur's absence around town as of late, if only because of his constant efforts to make sure everyone was alright. He liked to keep tabs on people, even if they were only vague ones, and normally he took notice fairly quickly when someone went missing. This had been the case with Abathur as well, the large arachnid's scent slowly fading more and more from the building he had once claimed as home, as well as around the town in general. He wasn't completely gone, Aurum knew from patrolling around and catching fresh wafts of the spider's scent on occasion, but he certainly wasn't making himself much of a presence. The lion tried not to worry too much, knowing he could certainly be quite the mother hen at times. After all, Abathur could've just decided he liked living outside of camp more, or perhaps he found the trees much more suitable for his meditation. The other had always been a bit of a wildcard, mainly because Aurum wasn't sure he possessed the mental abilities to keep up with how Abathur lived life. They were very different, but Aurum enjoyed the other's company, and as more and more time had passed without the other male saying so much as boo, Aurum had begun to feel that familiar little ache in his chest that happened when he thought a Tangler had disappeared. That mix of overwhelming worry and guilt, as if he thought they had somehow been captured, or he had driven them away. It was a beyond unpleasant feeling, and Aurum often found himself just closing his eyes and taking a deep breath whenever it began to manifest itself, knowing he couldn't do anything else about it, not really.
The lion had been out and about already that day when he heard Beck's voice, rather surprisingly politely asking if Abathur wanted to come outside. The proxy immediately felt his heart speed up with slight excitement at that, his head snapping up in the direction of the arachnid's previously abandoned home. He tried not to seem too overeager as he made his way over, being sure to keep a few generous steps between he and Beck as he neared the house. He knew the boy had a few issues with him, and trying to solve them before had never really worked, so now he just tended to give the spirit a wide berth. Usually he would've avoided the situation because of the founder's presence, but he was far too excited about Abathur's return to consider such a thing. So, instead he found himself settling nearby, his voice a warm rumble as he glanced around inside, "Abathur...? Abathur, you're back. It's nice to see you around again, big guy." He cracked a small, albeit slightly tired smile in Abathur's direction, unaware of the fact that the other couldn't really see it. He had somewhat picked up on the decline in Abathur's vision earlier, but he had no idea if the milkiness that now formed a sheet over the arachnid's eyes was a sign that he was now truly, fully blind. Aurum was blessed enough that, even after the whole unfortunate incident that had ended with him being down an eye, he still had the other one to see out of. Occasionally he needed to turn his head a bit more to see all of something or to focus on an opponent, just because he right side was effectively a huge blindspot, but he wasn't nearly on the same level as Abathur now. At the very least Abathur had made it all the way out here back to his old home, which meant that hopefully he still had tools in place to deal with the change, even though it would probably be a big life step.
