☆ 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 —
The scent of Asvini was honestly what drew Aurum towards the scene of Keter's unfortunate capture, rather than Keter themself. The proxy knew full well that his daughter was growing up, and probably wanted to go out and explore just as much as any other child did. Despite this, he couldn't help the spike of anxiety that split through him when her scent led away from town, his large paws urgently carrying him after her before long. He was relieved to see that she was unharmed when he arrived, but he wasn't relieved to see that there was also a stranger present. His ears flattened for a brief moment, before he took a deep breath in to calm down. Keter didn't seem to smell of any enemy group, and certainly didn't seem like some kind of highly trained spy come to infiltrate them. They were probably just another bumbling person that had wandered too far and gotten caught in one of their traps. At least Asvini had helped them out... somewhat. He really needed to teach her a bit more about manners, didn't he? Either way, the proxy's focus was now on Keter, with the large lion coming up beside Asvini and gently touching his nose to her head in a silent greeting.
Glancing from Vignere to Keter, Aurum waited a moment before he said softly, claws kneading wet ground, "In addition to that... could we know where you're from?" It was better to be safe than sorry. It was entirely possible that this newcomer could've just been some loner that wandered onto their lands. However, it was equally possible that they weren't, and were actually some kind of ex-Pittian seeking sanctuary – a situation that would require far more finesse. Either way, Vignere was right to stop them before they returned to town, at least for now. With Aurum present, he could keep his daughter safe, and they'd be able to make sure that Keter wasn't a threat before they showed their entire hand of cards. He really had become suspicious lately, but after what had happened with the Pitt and Moth... it became difficult for him to trust that anyone was wholly innocent. It always seemed as if there were ulterior motives at hand.
