NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — The slap of a rather large and rather unpleasant looking fish against the ground caused Aurum to jump, his one eyed gaze flicking up to Elsweyr. Despite his surprise, he found himself smiling, his grin toothy and sharp – although not intentionally – as he greeted, "Oh, hello." The king cheetah was one of the newer faces within the group to him, but he enjoyed seeing her around. Her company could occasionally be a bit odd, since he didn't know much of the tribe she came from, but he had his own little traditions that others didn't understand too. Perhaps it was something that they could bond about in the future, both being from different smaller groups before they had ultimately ended up in Tanglewood. Either way, the lion soon found himself letting out a soft chuff, pleased by the compliment for his new piercings, "Ah, thank you. They're made of bronze, so they have that sort of distinctive color... I figured they would match best with my own fur." He shook out his mane a little bit, the fading sunset colors of it fitting well with the spots of rusty brown that his piercings presented.
With his one intact blue eye drifting over Elsweyr, he soon found himself rumbling from deep in his chest, "I like your piercings as well... I take it that they're made from bone?" He wasn't sure what else would have that distinctive ivory color, not to mention the rather unique texture of them. He was distracted from them by the cheetah asking him if he wanted the fish she captured, causing him to pause. He didn't want to just eat the fish if she had gone through all the effort of catching it herself, especially since he hadn't hunted yet today. With that in mind, he sniffed at the aquatic beast, muttering, "Well... it does seem as though it would make for some good food. But I don't want to take it from you after you went through all the effort. Would you perhaps like to share?" They were both fairly large cats, but the fish was also pretty damn big, so he didn't think it would be such a big deal to share. It wasn't as though he couldn't get some extra food later, after all. — OF THE MAN WHO WAS BORN AND DIED A KING.
