spreading wings and taking flight -- assembly 07/04

[wormwood.]

Truth be told, Aurum probably would've had himself a good little chuckle if he had known what was going through Rin's head at the moment. Both the rather funny – although cruel – irony of the eye situation, and the thoughts swirling in her head about Tanglewood. He probably would've laughed because of the fact that, well, nothing had really happened between he and Tanglewood. He had left, yes, but it hadn't been because he had done anything terrible, or had been exiled. He had simply needed time away, to grieve for the sibling he had lost without constantly being forced to walk by her home. It was a grim truth, but at least it was better than her thinking he was some sort of murderer or criminal. Plus, Aurum had every intention to return to Tanglewood, sometime soon. Not to abandon Elysium, but to share his alliance with both groups, and to help both as much as he could before he eventually met his ultimate fate. He hoped that ending wouldn't end up coming too soon, but there was really no way to expect the unexpected in this world, so he had to just... do his best to be of use while he was still around.

With this in mind, Aurum kept his ears up tall in attention as he listened to the speech Rin gave both he and Atbash, vaguely aware of Sib near his side as she did so. With a small smile upon his muzzle, the lion found himself dipping his head down in a nod, his voice a firm rumble as he answered, "I promise, Rin." It was a hefty promise to be making, especially at his first meeting within the group, but Aurum had never really been one to be flakey. Even when he ended up leaving because of something, he always ended up making a loyal return.
