When he noticed Vigenere flinching away, Aurum found himself frowning faintly, mentally scolding himself. Although the large feline was very much a touchy feely male, and was always willing to offer physical comfort, he hadn't taken into consideration how Vig might've felt. At the very least, it didn't seem as though Vigenere was going to blow up over it, which was a comfort. The angel wasn't given much more time to dwell, however, as Vigenere began to explain what the entire deal was with he and the rest of his family. Aurum's eyes widened the slightest bit, but he didn't seem too terribly shocked, but that was mostly because he had dealt with demons before. Perhaps not demons like the Cipher family, but demons nonetheless. Nodding his head slowly, the lion muttered, "I see... I can understand that. Many months ago, when the war on the Pitt was still raging... I killed Kydobi, the current leader of the Pitt. I killed him out of rage and vengeance, and while it felt good in the moment, he ultimately ended up returning. I was furious... still am, to some extent." He let out a dry and bitter laugh at that, before shaking his head. One day, he swore, he was going to get his final revenge on Kydobi. Surely, the other couldn't be like Caesar, or Vigenere.
After this, Aurum allowed himself to relax as well, letting out a long sigh of fresh air as he rolled his formerly tensed shoulders. He mumbled after a moment, his mouth turning upwards slightly at the other feline's words, "Thank you, Vigenere... as I said, it is very likely that I will return to Tanglewood someday. Maybe sooner than I think. But I just need... an escape, at least for a little while. Hopefully the place won't fall apart without me... I can count on you to help with that, right?" He focused his one blue eye upon Vigenere, the little smirk on his face practically dazzling with amusement.
