One could say that bonfires were essentially an old friend of Aurum's at this point. Not only were bonfires especially common around Tanglewood, where most of the group delighted in the large flaming gathering to socialize and share stories, but the lion also had a rather intimate relationship with fire. His fire elementals, although now tamed, still had a tendency to reveal the emotions that he was feeling deep down inside, and one could argue that Aurum had been reborn through flames when he had ultimately chosen Earth, rather than the heavens above. He didn't tend to think so philosophically, but it was a decent argument. Hence why the male had decided to attend this event, rather than some of the others. He had wanted to partake in all of the festival, but his duties as proxy were rather busying and varied, and the flight between Tanglewood and Elysium took a toll, so he found that he needed to choose wisely. Hopefully, this would be an entertaining enough night that he wouldn't regret not attending the others.

Moving over to the large flame, Aurum offered a kind smile and polite nod to both Rin and Caesar, sitting back on his haunches and watching the fire dance. After a couple of moments of simply watching, the angel found himself experimentally reaching out with his elementals, making the flame curl and flick harmlessly. He was glad that he had learned enough that he could actually control his elementals, rather than have them control him. When he grew bored of messing with the flame, he plucked up one of the nearby sticks, skewering a marshmallow on it and holding it over the fire with his jaws. He wasn't too worried about being burned, considering he could turn the flames away from himself. He considered briefly joining in on the conversation that Rin and Caesar were having, but ultimately decided against it, figuring that Rin already seemed uncomfortable enough around the bonfire.
