ANGEL ❝ AURUM ❞ TANGLEWOOD
Aurum knew a thing or two about relationships that just... didn't work out. He and Draekon had loved each other dearly, not to mention having kids together, but the other just... hadn't belonged in Tanglewood. He hadn't belonged in The Pitt either, and the lion was grateful that his lost love was now free, but he couldn't help missing the tiger. Especially now that most of their children were absent, having disappeared in the time that the angel had been kidnapped. He imagined that Vigenere probably felt a similar away, although, at the very least, the luminary would be able to go and visit Alan on occasion. Regardless, Aurum had managed to bounce back from his past failures, even if he did feel a bit skittish around the subject of love these days. It felt as though everything involving him was destined to fail, or eventually be ripped away from him. Hell, even when he was trying his damnedest to make things right, he had been ripped away from his home for a marathon of suffering. Now wasn't the time to think about that, however, as demonstrated by the way the lion gave a quick shake of his head.
Refocusing his attention on Vig, the lion offered the other a small smile, chuckling before he explained, "Ah, sorry. I think both of those look kind of similar at first glance, honestly. Generally when you feel like you've relieved some stress, you tend to be happier." He was sure that the bright yellow feline knew that already, but Aurum just hoped he hadn't offended him. He hadn't meant to imply that Vig was happy about whatever he had done, the former proxy had just been trying his damnedest to read body language. Something that was significantly harder right now, when his vision had an unpleasant habit of randomly spinning from pain or dizziness out of the blue. Glancing Vigenere over, Aurum found himself questioning softly, "What weight did you get off your chest, if you don't mind me asking? Something to do with Tanglewood?" On some level, it did have something to do with Tanglewood, but Aurum was thinking of something more related to Vig's leadership. Like somehow brokering a solid ceasefire between Tanglewood and The Pitt, or something along those lines.
