☆ 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 —

Truthfully, Aurum knew very little about Vignere and Morgan. Every piece of information he had heard in the past about the former leader and his lover was secondhand, and the angel had never thought much of it. There certainly seemed to be mixed feelings on the pair, especially when it came to people like Crow and Leroy, but the proxy tried not to let that affect him too much. He preferred to form his own opinions on people before he treated them a certain way. He had been ready to do so with Vignere the first time the other male had rejoined Tanglewood, but nearly immediately after he had been welcomed in, he had dropped off the face of the earth. Aurum had tried not to think too much about it, to be honest. After all, there had been plenty of times in the past where others had joined only to gradually – or quite suddenly – disappear afterwards. He had his own life developments to worry about at that point, and it wasn't as if he had a chance to grow close to Vignere, so he had just let the incident roll over him without much fuss.

When the lion heard the voice of Vignere yet again calling out over the border, he found his interest piqued. Would the oddly colored male have some explanation for his disappearance, or would he just choose to ignore it? Either way, Aurum found himself getting up from where he had been resting on a log, slowly making his way over to where Vignere and his child stood. The sight of the canine and feline hybrid caused Aurum to pause, less because of the more obvious reasons and more just because he hadn't been expecting Vignere to have a kid with him. After all, the proxy had never known Morgan, so Alan's markings looked just the same as any other cat to him. Turning his one eyed gaze to Vignere, Aurum chuckled before rumbling, "Hey, Vignere. Here to come back again? Pretty sure we got all the introductions out of the way last time, but in case you've forgotten, I'm Aurum. You're welcome to rejoin... again." He then turned his blue gaze towards Alan, shifting a wing upon his back in a sort of wave to the boy, "And hello there, little one. Alan, was it? I'm Aurum, second in command around here." He couldn't help but shift a little awkwardly under the boy's starry eyed gaze, wondering what exactly Vignere had told him about Tanglewood that would get him so excited to see anyone.
