HYMN FOR THE BROS + sHP/HP Meeting

[wormwood.]

☆ HUNG PICTURES OF PATRON SAINTS UP ON MY WALL TO REMIND ME THAT I AM A FOOL. TELL ME WHERE I CAME FROM, WHAT I WILL ALWAYS BE: JUST A SPOILED LITTLE KID WHO WENT TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL —

Aurum hadn't been around as long as Leroy had, but he knew that the Pitt had a long and storied history of terror. Hearing the general recount it himself only confirmed this for the tigon, who allowed his head to slowly nod along with the canine's words. At one time, the proxy had been part of the group that had stubbornly insisted that the Pitt had good inside of it, but now he knew better. Anyone who remained within the group was a fool, who had resigned themselves to living a life of evil by association, letting others get away with horrible crimes without lifting a paw to stop it. He had thought that he and Leroy were on the same page about that, and as it turned out, they were. The angel still wasn't thrilled about the decision, but it made more sense after the leader's speech, a small sigh leaving Aurum as he let his claws dig harmlessly against the floor. He knew what he was about to say would probably be frowned upon by some others present at the meeting, but he felt the need to speak once Leroy was done, "I... I agree. While I may not support this decision wholeheartedly, it's clear that you've thought this through, and are willing to admit your error if it harms us in some way. Truly, I believe that the Pitt should've ended a long time ago, long before I ever even joined Tanglewood, and I doubt they will get any better under Kydobi's rule, but... I will try to put trust in Goldie's decision, and yours as well."

The male's tone then darkened after a moment, his eyes narrowing as he glanced to the side, "However, if the Pitt does anything to us again. Anything that causes us harm in any way... I will not hesitate in taking action immediately. In the past, I have hesitated when trouble has shown up on our border, because I wished to think the best of others, but I'm no longer going to be doing that. Pittians do not deserve that..." His voice was cold. Surprisingly cold for him, considering the usual warm tone he used for everything else, but he had been wronged by the Pitt one too many times. Looking towards Leroy, Aurum mumbled after a moment, "I assume this will be alright with you, considering your stance on if they ever wrong us again." He was fairly sure of it, but Leroy had surprised him in the past, and he felt the need to confirm it.
