NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — It had been some time since Aurum had seen Siborno, and he had to admit that he missed the other pretty dearly. Although their interactions had been brief, and there had been a definite language barrier, the lion had always been pretty quick to make friends, and he enjoyed Siborno's company. The other's presence was a boon, even if their time together only involved sitting in silence and remaining close. He had fully intended to go back and visit Sib once in a while, but then this entire takeover nonsense had happened. He hadn't been able to get a message out to Siborno or anyone else, so they were all effectively stuck, and he hoped that the other didn't feel abandoned. Of course, that was the least of his problems at the moment, but it was still something that lingered on his mind, particularly with the recent losses within the group. Aurum had already lost Vigenere, a dear friend to him, and he didn't want to lose Siborno either, over some stupid fucking Wanderers keeping them all hostage. In addition, he had to worry for Sib's safety, considering Hani and Alani's presence at the recent December meeting.
Thankfully – or unfortunately, depending on how you looked at it – it seemed as though Aurum would soon know where his old friend was. Because, as he patrolled along the bored that morning, looking for any weaknesses in the Wanderers that lined it, he was surprised to hear a thickly accented call of his own name. Ears flicking forward, the lion felt a sense of urgency and anxiety in his chest, quickly moving towards the scent of Siborno and the mysterious stranger he was carrying. The angel paused as soon as he arrived, his eyes lingering on the scaly male that Siborno was carrying with him. For a moment, Aurum just sputtered, his confusion clear, "What... Sib, who is that...?" However, his one eye then trailed down to Sib's leg, eyes widening when he saw the blood dripping from the other's wound. Sucking in a harsh breath, the lion moved forward as he muttered, "Shit, shit, Siborno, you're hurt... did the Coalition do this to you?" It was a relatively minor injury, all things considered, but his instant assumption was that the other had gotten hurt while traveling from Elysium to Tanglewood.
Not waiting for an answer on either question from Siborno, Aurum just turned his head, calling out loudly towards town, "Hey! [member=3521]moth[/member]! Anyone who has any medical knowledge, we've got someone that's hurt put here!" He would've called for Kiira, but her absence as of late made him think that it wouldn't be worth much. She was probably hiding away somewhere, or she had blinked out of this world entirely. Sighing, the lion turned back to Sib, reassuring softly, "I can lead you back to town and you can get patched up. And, er... I guess he can get patched up too. Do you even know him?" The shark guy didn't smell of Elysium, so surely there was some kind of interesting story there. — OF THE MAN WHO WAS BORN AND DIED A KING.
