Cave exploration. It seemed like an interesting prospect to Aurum, albeit a slightly anxiety inducing one. Although, the lion had never truly had any issues with claustrophobia in the past, it was undeniable that he was one of the larger members of Elysium at the moment. With his staggering height – for an African lion, at least – and broad wings, he had a tendency to take up a lot of space, even when he didn't mean to. Despite this, the thought of allowing his new friends and groupmates head into the caverns all on their own didn't sound particularly appealing either. After all, what if there was something seriously dangerous within the echoing stone tunnels? He knew that his fellow Elysites were far from useless in combat, especially considering their semi-regular encounters with the gods, but he couldn't help but want to protect them all. With his claws, wings, fire elementals... anything he had was constantly at the disposal of his friends.
With this in mind, the angel soon came padding over to where Rin was sat, shifting one of his red and gold wings in greeting to the magna before he sat down. His long tail came to wrap around his paws, and his jaws parted slightly, trying to parse out some kind of particular scent from within the cave. Unfortunately, all he got in response was the dusty scent of rock and dirt, with no signs of what could be further inside. It made a frown come to his face, but he recovered quickly, shrugging his shoulders before he spoke, "I'll help with the exploration, Rin. Might be best for me to stay at the back of the group, though." Not only would it hopefully solve the issue of his bulk, but it would also mean he could be the first to deal with any potential threats approaching from behind. He wouldn't put it past one of the gods to try and attack them while they were so vulnerable.
