Aurum's grief over Ivan's disappearance was not insignificant, considering he missed his nephew dearly, but he was fairly sure he couldn't begin to imagine how Bloodhound was feeling. The hunter and Ivan had been an odd pair of kindred spirits, and while the lion had initially been somewhat hesitant about Bloodhound's odd beliefs and behavior, Aurum had come to understand, and respect them. As such, he had approved of Ivan and Bloodhound's relationship, if only because it meant the boy had a proper mentor and friend figure in his life. Unfortunately, that had all been cut short with the other's disappearance, and now they were left to pick up the pieces. At the very least, it seemed as though they had tasks to do in order to keep themselves busy, and the angel wanted to make sure that Bloodhound's efforts to continue training his corvids hadn't all been a waste, in the end. Besides, it could be an odd sort of tribute, to the bird that Bloodhound had lost, not so long ago.

Making his way over to where the canine had announced his show, the former proxy came to a stop beside Delilah, sitting down and making himself comfortable. After clearing his throat, the lion spoke simply, a kind smile curled upon his golden muzzle, "I'm excited to see what they're able to do, Bloodhound." He had no doubt that, with Bloodhound's innate talents with nature, they'd be able to put on a rather impressive show.
