AURUM
DO NO HARM BUT TAKE NO SHIT !
[/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]
Aurum had attempted to grow a garden once. In front of his old, tiny shack of a home, he had attempted to grow a few rows of various flowers in order to make the place appear nicer, and out of a sort of desperate bid to get Crowley's attention, since he had noticed the other liked plants. However, the proxy had not been quite as methodical about his planting as Abathu was currently being. In fact, Crowley had claimed that Aurum was cheating, since the lion had utilized his earth elementals in order to pull the plants up and forth from the earth, accelerating their growth and making his garden quickly. Really, it sort of was cheating in the grand scheme of things, but Aurum hadn't cared much about it then. After all, he had achieved his goal of beautifying the outside of his house, and if he was remembering it correctly, he and Crowley had ended up having a nice, albeit awkward little conversation about plants and gardening. That might not have seemed like a win to most people, but to Aurum, who at the time had still just been beginning to grow close to the demon in question, it had been a total and utter success, if only to see Crowley opening up a little bit more, and relaxing within his comfort zone.
Although the lion held slightly positive memories associated with gardening because of that little incident, he also held a great deal more negative feelings for the task nowadays. This was mainly because of the absence of the demon who had piqued Aurum's interest in gardening in the first place. Crowley had disappeared for many weeks, apparently giving into the throes of a depression nap to end all depression naps, and once he had finally woken up from it, all of his plants had been dead, collapsed and decrepit from the lack of care from a sleeping owner. Aurum had thought maybe then that Crowley had finally made his return, and they could talk through their feelings together. However, it had been weeks since that particular event had happened, and Crowley had once again vanished into the nether. As a result of this, Aurum found himself disliking gardening more and more, faintly glaring at the happy and colorful flowers that poked and paraded out from the front of people's houses, eager for exposure as the winter came to a close. The angel didn't want for gardening to be associated with such negative things for him, but it wasn't as if he really had a way to change it for the time being. He had no idea where Crowley was, and he wasn't particularly keen on expanding power to regrow a garden in front of his new home.
So, when Aurum found himself passing by Abathur's home and saw the large spider digging holes in the ground before filling them with seeds, he found his heart sinking slightly in his chest. He got the usual unpleasant dipping feeling that came with thinking of past positive memories now tainted, but he stubbornly ignored that, making his way over at the same time as Itsy. He offered her a greeting with a little wave of his paw, before he looked back at Abathur. He chewed on the inside of his cheek as he looked down at the dirt, already seeing it begin to stain his golden paws brown. He ignored that as well, adding on to Itsy's statement, "And do you need any help with it?"
