Seeing Ament so gleeful, satisfied, and loving honestly caused a warmth in Aurum's chest that he couldn't begin to describe. He knew that there were many out there that feared Ament, or would come to fear him, if they ever had the pleasure of meeting him. It was a simple matter of perspective, really. While most would look at Ament and see a feral beast, incapable of doing anything but bring destruction, Aurum looked at the raptor and saw family. In the past few months, the lion had lost so much of his family, from his sister and brother to his mother, and many of those within Tanglewood that he had considered close to him in some way. During a time where he had felt so powerless and alone, having Ament return to him, even if it was only temporary... it was a joy, because it meant that he knew that the other male was safe, and that Aurum wasn't about to lose anyone else. One could practically feel the joy radiating off of the angel as he saw Ament smack the ground with his tail in happiness. That was a clear enough message for the lion, who responded with a grin and excited, fluffed up feathers, "I'm glad to hear that you're doing well, Ament. I missed you, and I was worried something was wrong, or had happened to you... this makes me so happy, though."
The tangy smell of salty seawater on the air was familiar to Aurum, not only because of his past experiences living in The Typhoon, but because of his closeness with so many who were living there. It took him only a few moments to identify the scent with Ament so close, and if it was possible, he found his grin widening even more. He had been wondering where the raptor had taken up residence during his time away – or at least some of his time away – and there was truly no better place in the lion's mind than The Typhoon. It had served as a temporary home for him in the past, and he knew the people there to be kind, guided along by Goldie. Brushing a feathered wing lightly against Ament's side, Aurum let out an approving chuff that he hoped the male would understand, thinking fondly of clear blue seas and golden sands, "The Typhoon... I thought I recognized that smell. You chose a good place to stay, Ament. I'm good friends with Goldie, and many others over there... they'll treat you well." As much as the angel wished that Ament could stay within Tanglewood, it was evident from the start that the raptor had no plans to. He had the scent of another group and of more family on his feathers and scales, and Aurum had no desire to keep his brother away, no matter the weight on his heart.
