If he was being entirely honest with himself, Aurum had been anxious about asking Roy to leave Tanglewood with him. Although the swamp dwelling group no longer felt like home without Moth around, it wasn't as if the former proxy had wanted to just up and drag the boy away from any potential friendships he might've made. Still, even when presented with the decision for himself, Roy had chosen to come with, albeit on the condition that he could return to Tanglewood to see them. The lion had no problem with that, even if he wasn't sure he'd be able to make the journey with the coati. At least not anytime soon, while all of the wounds were still fresh and open. Not to mention the fact that Roy couldn't go anywhere on his own yet anyways. His two month long coma had drained more than a little from him, and although the angel hadn't had issue with helping his son all the way to the Knights, he wasn't sure how keen he was on helping him all the way back just yet. It would probably be best to just wait until he was back on his feet and able to travel longer distances on his own. Even if that didn't necessarily mean that Aurum wouldn't go back with him. After all, he didn't want there to be any chance of Roy getting hurt.
Even with all the worries that still lingered after the move, Aurum still couldn't help but feel... glad to be within the Knights of Concord. He felt considerably lighter, and he could only hope that Roy was happy as well. It had been hard to tell on the somewhat lengthy journey to here, considering he had encouraged the other to rest, but now he had a chance to ask. The male had been out for a walk through the gardens when he caught the scent of Roy on the air, a smile coming to his face as he altered his course. He soon came to the other's side, moving to lay down beside the coati and gently flick one gold and red wing on the other's spine in greeting. He spoke softly when he eventually did rumble, resting his chin on top of his paws, "Hey Roy... how've you been settling in so far?" His question was born out of curiosity and fatherly worry, but he would quickly drop it if anyone else came over, interested in learning more about Roy. Aurum had no interest in keeping his child from getting out there and making new friends within the Knights, even if most present – as far as Aurum was aware – were older than him.
