Aurum watched with interest as both Caustic and his companion got up to their paws, his tail flicking from side to side behind him as he looked over Caustic's dark figure. The other was smaller than him, as most others were, but the angel still found himself interested, his eyes lingering upon the strange smoke the other seemed to produce from his mouth. The lion couldn't exactly say much, considering that he often found himself with lava pouring forth from his mouth, staining and charring the ground beneath him and leaving destruction in its wake. However, that particular little elemental reaction usually came as a result of some kind of intense emotion, and wasn't just his default state. Caustic, on the other hand, seemed utterly unfazed by the smog he spewed forth, seemingly entirely used to it. Aurum was fairly sure that wasn't because of some kind of emotional reaction, since the proxy saw hardly any real emotion behind the other's gaze, save for maybe a little bit of annoyance and a speck of curiosity. As soon as Abathur came crawling over and gently tapped against one of his legs, the lion was struck by the similarities between the large arachnid and the newcomer. As if demonstrating that, Abathur immediately chattered away with interest, wondering what exactly Caustic was a doctor of. Aurum bit the inside of his cheek to keep from chuckling, a small smile gracing his muzzle. Perhaps the two could become friends at some point.

Focusing his attention once again upon the joiner at hand, Aurum gave a friendly nod before he spoke again, "You're more than welcome to join, Dr. Caustic. Provided you'll be peaceful and willing to help out... is your companion joining as well?" Aurum doubted it, considering the scent of the Typhoon that clung to Octane's fur, but he figured that he might as well ask. After all, he himself had a dual alliance with the Typhoon, even if he mostly just used it as an excuse to visit back and forth on occasion. It wouldn't be unheard of for the cheetah to express an interest in being within Tanglewood as well, especially considering his apparent attachment to Caustic – Aurum couldn't parse out the meaning of that attachment right this second, but it was obvious that there was one there. The male then continued, rumbling warmly as he flicked his tail back in the direction of the town, "As for me, my name is Aurum. I'm the proxy, or second in command around here. It's a pleasure to meet you."
