NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — To be honest, it had been a long time since Aurum had seen any species of animal as just prey, or just predator. Ever since he had made a habit of making friends with animals that others within the groups would traditionally consider "feral," he had pretty much abandoned those old stereotypes. He still hunted, obviously, but he tried to confirm that whatever he was hunting wasn't a walking talking person before he did anything. He would've done the same with Riffraff, but thankfully it seemed as though she had dealt with that part herself. It was pretty hard to see her as just prey, when she was flying around and asking for a place to stay. Her upbeat initial nature reminded him somewhat of Feza, and that brought a smile to his face, albeit a slightly sad one. It was nice to remember the old party-throwing snow leopard, but those memories always brought with them memories of her death as well.
Shaking off the sadness that was threatening to grip his mind for the entire day, Aurum half padded and half glided over, eventually coming to a landing beside Elsweyr. Even taller and more massive than his cheetah companion, the angel was fairly sure he'd be even more intimidating to Riffraff. Hopefully the friendly grin upon his face would be enough to set her mind at ease. With his colorful wings shifting upon his back, he spoke warmly, "Hello there, Riffraff. If you're looking for a place to stay, you're in luck. This land here belongs to Tanglewood, and we'll let pretty much anyone in, as long as they're safe. My name is Aurum, and I'm a member here. I've been here for quite a bit, so if you've got any questions, feel free to ask." He considered warning her about the Wanderers, but held off for now. They were seemingly significantly less of an issue as of late, considering how little he was actually seeing of them. — OF THE MAN WHO WAS BORN AND DIED A KING.
