When Aurum had received the invitation from Goldie to attend her and Sam's wedding, he hadn't been overly surprised. Of course he had been overjoyed for the both of them, but he had known from the first time he saw them interacting at the potluck that there were sparks there. It hadn't been hard to see, even with the rather casual and private attitudes of both involved. He was extremely happy for the both of them, knowing that both of them had suffered their fair share of hardships in life. He still winced just thinking about the torture that Sam had endured, or the hours upon hours of work that Goldie did constantly in order to make sure her group was running smoothly. Both of them deserved to have some happiness in their lives, and they deserved to enjoy that happiness with each other. Was he a little bit jealous that they had both found someone to spend the rest of their lives with? Maybe a little, considering just how many times he had already struck out in the love department, but he wasn't going to be bitter about it. He was here to celebrate love, not resent it.
The lion had decided to make a valiant effort to appear nice for the wedding, having carefully preened all of his feathers, groomed down his usually unruly mane, and even added a few accessories. In addition to his usual eyepatch to cover up his missing eye, he also had a dark blue bow tie tied loosely around his neck, and some sweet smelling flowers woven into his mane. It wasn't the most extravagant get up, but Aurum had only ever really been extravagant when it came to combat, and he also didn't want to out accessorize either of the brides. After he had finished up his "outfit," he had wrapped up the small gift he had gotten the two of them, and made the flight towards the Typhoon, once again grateful for his wings to get him there much faster than he might've arrived otherwise. He had gone long enough without wings when he was pregnant, and he could remember quite well just how much that had sucked.
Coming to a landing not too far from the ceremony space, the lion tucked his gift aside before he headed to where the seating was, a smile on his face. There were faces he recognized all around, and although the scent of the Typhoon was not that of his home, it was still overwhelmingly familiar. He flicked a wing to both Roxie and her son Jaime, before he moved to sit down beside Rin, flicking his tail in greeting to the Elysium magna. Keeping his voice low in order to not interrupt anything, he rumbled softly to her, "Hey, Rin. Nice to see another non-Typhooner here... you doing alright?" He knew the other feline had been going through some rough times lately, so he could only hope that wouldn't spoil the happy event for her.
