NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — Lately, Aurum had very gradually begun to emerge from the cocoon that he had previously formed within his large home. For some time, he had only remained within his home, resting and recovering after the injuries that he had sustained from the hyenas. However, he was beginning to feel better, which meant that it was time to return to his normal rotation of duties – things that he actually enjoyed doing, since they made him feel useful. Unfortunately, his job as an advisor had fallen to the wayside as of late, mainly due to the fact that he hadn't seen Vigenere around as much. It was a shame, since he missed seeing their leader and his friend around, and certainly missed being able to help him with the leadership of the slowing group. Still, this didn't mean he was lonely without Vigenere's company. He still had his children, who had been keeping his company within his home. Roy, Salvia, and Ayla. How he loved them all dearly, even if they did tend to be radically different. They certainly kept his life interesting, even when he was mostly just staying inside.
When the lion had gotten up from his rest that day, he had checked into all of his children's rooms as usual, with the intent to say good morning. Of course, when he saw that Salvia wasn't home, he had found himself curious and vaguely concerned, wondering where the cub had gone. Thankfully, it didn't take too long for him to reach the boy, pushing open the door to his front door and pausing when he saw Salvia in the distance, holding a large open bag of seeds as Elsweyr lingered nearby. He chuckled softly when he saw what the other was doing, descending down the still slightly warm steps of his porch as he made his way over. He flicked his tail lightly against Elsweyr's side as he passed, silently greeting her before he spoke, "I don't think he's spreading seeds because he wants to hunt the birds. He just wants to watch them eat... maybe befriend them. It's very peaceful, don't you think?" He tilted his head to one side as he glanced towards the cheetah, moving his one eyed gaze to Salvia next. He questioned with a chuckle, a flash of a toothy smile on his muzzle, "Am I right, Salvia...? Or were you just bored, and thought making a mess would be funny?" His last sentence was clearly teasing, without any sign of scolding his son. — OF THE MAN WHO WAS BORN AND DIED A KING.
