Don't touch him right now. The order from Rin, although soft and far from particularly startling, still caught Aurum off guard, the angel immediately pulling his golden paw back and away from Siborno's thick pelt. It was almost a bit disappointing, since it seemed as though his soft scratching had been helping out, at least in some way. Unfortunately, Aurum was sure that he blanched beneath the golden fur on his face when he heard Rin's diagnosis, his ears flattening down right against his skull. He wasn't particularly angry at Siborno, but just generally found himself displeased by the situation. It wouldn't exactly be good if he accidentally brought fleas back to Tanglewood, now would it? Grumbling a little, the lion dragged his paw against the dirt, claws digging in a bit before he spoke, "Ah... that unfortunately makes a lot of sense. Thank you, Rin." As Rin wandered off to get supplies, Aurum refocused his one blue eye on Siborno, a sigh leaving him before he muttered, "Sand, huh? That could be The Pitt, or The Typhoon... was there any water? Cause if there was, we might have to have someone go tell them they've got a problem..." Preferably not him, since he didn't want to get even more exposed.
After his statement, Clony began to ramble on about various things, causing Aurum to wince and sigh a little bit. He could appreciate the sentiment behind their words, but he also knew that panicking and jumping around would do nothing to help the situation. Flicking his paw about, the angel provided helpfully, "By sanitation stuff... do you mean soap? Because soap and water can do a wondrous job with dealing with fleas. Well... after we apply the stuff Rin is bringing. So yeah, water would help." He offered Sib a small smile, trying to comfort the other male in spite of his current situation. He knew it must've been awful to be itching all over, but at least if Rin was correct about the issue, they could deal with it properly and hopefully make it disappear before it got any worse.
