Most around the major groups didn't end up straying very far from their homeland unless they needed to. This was mainly because it was a pain in the ass to go all the way to somewhere else and then make the long trek back just for a simple scenic walk or something like that. However, Aurum wasn't like most. Not only did he thrive on having activities to do – in order to keep his mind occupied – he also had wings. Wings that made it quite easy to get around from place to place, and allowed him to take the occasional scenic flight without much fuss. To most people, Tanglewood wouldn't really be part of any scenic anything. By all accounts, the swampland was a dreary place, with closely cluttered trees that blocked out the sun, and an oppressive and humid environment in the summer that was rapidly approaching. Despite these – very true – facts, Tanglewood had still been Aurum's home for quite a long time, and he couldn't help but still feel attached to it. So, even with the rather lacklustre scenery it provided, he found himself flying over Tanglewood territory anyways, one blue eye focused idly on the ground to see if there was anything of interest around.
Eventually, Aurum did find something of interest. Or rather, someone of interest. Vigenere, one of the both newer and older members of the group. Older in that he had been within Tanglewood for a long time in the past, but newer in that he had only recently returned. The angel couldn't help but feel curious about the other and his life, especially after the whole incident with Caesar attempting to join the group. As much as Aurum wanted to say he could control himself for long enough not to succumb to his curiosity and swoop down... he really couldn't. Besides, it wasn't as if Tanglewood and the Knights of Concord were enemies, and it also wasn't as if he had been exiled, so he wasn't banned from Tanglewood's territory. Taking a deep breath, the lion came to a landing just a bit outside of the border that Vigenere seemed to be patrolling, clearing his throat loudly before he approached, "Vigenere? What are you doing out here? You're supposed to be resting, remember?" He knew that Vig was hardly as injured as some had been during the tremors, but he could still distinctly remember an injured paw that had gone untreated for a while. Vigenere definitely wasn't supposed to be out walking on it over the gnarled roots of the trees.
