While a part of Aurum wanted to argue that he didn't need therapy, considering he had already taken a significant amount of time for his own grief and emotional turmoil, he also knew that part of him would be wrong. Despite how much he had grown and changed in the short month that he had been absent from Tanglewood, he knew that all wasn't necessarily well. He had still lost Moth, one of the most important people in the world to him, right after he had lost Feza, someone who – while they had butted heads quite a bit in the past – he considered to be one of his best friends. In fact, part of the reason why the former proxy was doing as well as he was, was because of Delilah herself. The soft pink dragon was one of his closest and oldest friends, and although he had long ago come to terms with her disappearance to go seek out Flint, seeing her once again within Tanglewood had hardly been a negative. Her sudden reappearance in his life had filled his heart with an ache, but it was an overwhelmingly pleasant ache. An ache that simply yearned for the old times, when he had been younger, and Tanglewood had been newer.
The thought of spilling all of his messy and irrational emotions in front of the rest of the group filled him with anxiety, particularly because he still wanted to maintain at least some level of respect, but he didn't have the heart to outright refuse. Delilah had obviously gone through a great deal of effort to put the event together, if the overwhelming scent of delicious cooked food was anything to go by. So, in spite of the little voices in his head trying to caution him away from such an event, the lion found himself padding over anyways, sitting down beside Delilah. Gently nudging her with one of his large and colorful wings, Aurum rumbled simply, "Hey, Del... I'll be happy to stick around. And maybe talk, if everyone isn't too bored of listening to me." The lion chuckled softly, offering Delilah a little smile of comfort. Even though she was hosting such a kind event for everyone else, he knew that she had her fair share of hardships as well.
