NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — There was a feeling of regret that lingered in Aurum's chest as Arrow began to speak, although he wasn't sure for what. Did he regret that he hadn't been able to save her, somehow? That seemed as likely a possibility as any, considering how hard the angel fought to protect all those that he considered family. However, he doubted that she would ever hold her death against him, considering the two of them had been so far apart when she had evidently passed. Shoving down that feeling of regret for now – there would be time to contemplate it later – the lion found himself chuckling dryly, "I can see that... I've gotta admit, I didn't expect to see many ghosts around after Beck disappeared..." Part of him was still unsure about what he was seeing, but it wasn't as if he could reach a paw out for himself and check. His paw would just end up going through her, and he would be left at square one with nothing left to show for it. For now, he decided to just trust her words, and believe that she was real.
Wings shifting upon his back, Aurum couldn't help but smile as Arrow got to her feet, surprised by the massive difference in size between the two of them. He had been big when he had first joined, but he had still barely been an adult at that point in his life – things had changed a lot since then, including his rather impressive height and general muscle mass. Deciding it was a good idea to he polite, the lion sat back on his haunches, shaking his head before he spoke, "You left plenty to remember, trust me. I've been here quite a while now, and you're one of the faces I always looked up to when I first joined." He noticed the flash of pain across her face, and he couldn't say that he blamed her for it. After all, so much had changed, and the both of them had lost so many. Letting out a sigh, he muttered briefly, one eyed gaze down on his paws, "I can only imagine... trust me, I'd be singing the praises of you and everyone else who isn't here anymore, if things weren't so dire at the moment." He was unsure of how long Arrow had been lingering, but if it was for a while... she had to know what was going on, right? — OF THE MAN WHO WAS BORN AND DIED A KING.
