Thankfully, it didn't seem as though Aurum's actions were in vain. Although the former proxy would've been perfectly happy all on his own beneath the water, since it relieved the heat sinking down deep into his bones, it was nicer to share his hard work with others. He wasn't sure why he had ever been worried, considering he had plenty of fellow long haired companions within the group that had to deal with the overwhelming humidity of the swamp. The first of these companions was Vigenere, the new general nearly overwhelmingly eager as he bolted forward and flopped into the water. Aurum found himself grinning at the other's almost childish actions, a rumbling laugh leaving his chest as he was splashed with water, hardly minding as a chill ran through him. He had only known Vig for a little while, and for the entire time that he had known the other, he had always thought of him as fairly straightforward. Not completely straightlaced and serious all the time, but he hadn't yet seen the demon like this. It was comforting, in a way, to know that the new leader was really human. With this in mind, Aurum let out a little chuff before speaking, his tail flicking back and forth, "It's really no problem. Getting the water for it took the longest, and even that wasn't too bad... it's certainly worth it for the relief, you know?"
The next to come over was Bloodhound, yet another surprise. Although they were hardly leaping over the moon or cannonballing into the water, the hunter did seem considerably more at ease and pleased than Aurum thought he had ever seen them. It was a little disorienting, but not in a bad way, and the angel felt his heart swell with satisfaction. He had always enjoyed helping others, and this action was no exception. Although the pool wasn't nearly as big as certain other things he had done in the past, that didn't mean that it was lesser, especially when seeing the looks on Vig and Bloodhound's faces. A little chuckle leaving his muzzle, the lion leaned down to dip his mane beneath the ripples of the cool water again, before he spoke, "Glad to hear it, Bloodhound... I felt like I was just about to collapse from the heat the other day, so I felt like I needed to do this. It might not be the kind of thing I can do all the time, but... it might be nice to do this every once in a while during the summer. Just so everybody can get a bit of relief." He wasn't looking forward to the hours of flying back and forth with fresh, cool water again, but he could deal if it meant he wouldn't be baking in his own body.
