Hunter was the first word to come to mind when Aurum laid eyes upon Hebi, and how could it not be? The being before him looked not only scarred, strong, and ready for anything, but from the... accessories that were draped over his form, it was clear that he had seen a thing or two in the past. It made two emotions clash within the angel as he grew closer – anxiety, and comfort. Anxiety, because if Hebi was within the mountains to join Elysium, then he had to be here to hunt something, which meant that he wanted to hurt the Elysites that the lion called friends. Comfort, however, because if Hebi was indeed sitting there with the intent to join, that would mean that there would be yet another skilled fighter within Elysium, which was never something to scoff at. After all, for such a relatively peaceful group, they did deal with fairly violent threats on a semi-regular basis, and having strong warriors to face those threats was only natural.
Choosing to err on the side of caution, Aurum was slow to approach, his heavy pawsteps deliberate as the lion emerged from between the snow covered trees, wings held slightly aloft. Given the peaceful expression that played across Hebi's face, it seemed clear that the other had not come for conflict. Or if he had, he was at least very skilled at hiding it. Coming to a stop in front of Hebi once he was only a few long strides away, Aurum cleared his throat, his voice coming out in a clear and warm rumble as he spoke, "Hello there, stranger. You're on the territory of Elysium, in case you didn't know. Could I get your name and business?" The lion's eyes trailed downward momentarily, lingering on the jasper knives for a long moment before he continued, "I hope you're not here to cause any trouble."" He hadn't meant his words as a threat, but they could easily be interpreted as such, since Aurum's protective nature had already begun to extend over his secondary home.
