☆ 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 —
It seemed as though Zora had taken in the unhatched child in order to raise it. It was hardly the most wild idea in the world, and honestly it was an action that Aurum probably would've taken himself, had he been the one to find it. It only served to warm Zora more in the proxy's eyes, a soft smile coming to his muzzle even as she grew distracted while speaking to him. It was a bit odd, hearing her so confidently say that she had taken the egg for she and Isaac. Did that confirm his theory that they were together, or were they just really close friends? It seemed a bit odd for a lover to simply ignore her partner's plea for her to not keep a child, even if that partner was Isaac. Sure, the egg had no nest to be returned to, but surely it could be given to someone else if necessary? Either way, Aurum resolved not to get in the middle of that conversation, not keen on seeing Isaac getting his feathers ruffled over such a thing.
He was about to ask the vixen more about how she had found it, when Caustic's voice interrupted the silence. Gaze flicking back to the egg, Aurum felt his heart leap in his chest when he saw what would surely be the first of many cracks. He felt excitement bubbling up, while the arrival of Ivan brought with it a wave of anxiety. The proxy knew that Ivan had personally had a bit of a bad experience with hatchlings, but the fear in his warning was a bit unfounded – at least in Aurum's opinion. Despite this, the lion did as he was told, stepping back from the egg a little as he mused softly, "It looks as though the little one is ready to come out. Or almost ready, anyways. Ready for motherhood, Zora?" He said his last quip with a tone of teasing in Zora's direction, not actually wanting to cause the fox any stress. After all, no matter what, if the hatchling from the egg was healthy, it would be taken care of by someone within Tanglewood. They seemed to have a habit of acquiring children and integrating them into the family at this point, it seemed.
