A WALK IN THE WOODS | Double Return

[wormwood.]

Although Aurum had become so synonymous with Tanglewood over the nearly a year that he had lived within the group, it wasn't difficult to remember that there had been a time before he had joined. A time that Vigenere was from, in fact. Although Aurum now considered the new general to be at the very least a tentative friend of his, it had been rather surprising when the other had first shown up once again with his son, after hearing so many whispers of the name. He supposed it would be the same way with Fenris and Amunet, although the lion hadn't really heard nearly as much about them before. Perhaps it was just about connections. After all, Aurum had known Crow for a long while, and Crow had loved Morgan, so it was only natural that the angel had heard about both Morgan and Vigenere. Amunet and Fenris? While they had connections with Vig, it was harder to find many members nowadays who remembered or spoke of them, even when Aurum had, on occasion, gone searching for information on the older members of the group. He mainly did it out of curiosity, wondering if perhaps one day Tanglewood would have a history book like the human ones that he read in the library.

Prior knowledge or not, it wasn't too long before Aurum came up beside Vigenere, his ears perked with interest as he looked both Fenris and Amunet over. They certainly made one interesting picture of a couple, and it honestly made the male's heart ache a bit to hear the tail end of their loving exchange. He wished that he could still have a relationship such as that... still, at least he could be happy for others, like them. Brushing a large wing against Vig's side in a silent greeting, Aurum offered both Amunet and Fenris a smile, his voice its usual deep rumble as he spoke, "Hello there. Fenris and Amunet, I believe I heard? I think I've heard of the pair of you... I'm Aurum, I've been a tangler here awhile. It's nice to see people returning... particularly those that even I have never met." He then tilted his head to one side, flicking an ear as he continued curiously, "Ah, I suppose Vig is right in asking... are the two of you returning? Or just here for a visit?" He was getting a bit ahead of himself, just assuming that the pair of them were here to return to the group. He supposed he was just overly hopeful, after all of the losses that they had suffered as of late.
