NOTHING BESIDE REMAINS — It was not often that Aurum just barged into the homes of others. Despite what Sophiea may have thought of him, the lion wasn't actually prone to entering someone's home without welcome. He only did so when he had something to do, and even then, it was usually something pretty important. In this case, he had been heading over to Elsweyr's place in order to discuss the recent change of status that Tanglewood had gone through. They needed to be planning, now that the Coalition had been driven out. The former proxy didn't want such a change to be temporary, and he had no plans of letting their momentum die out, even if he did want to take a moment to just enjoy things. However, it seemed as though it wouldn't be Elsweyr that he would be speaking with that day. His paw rapped rhythmically against her front door before he opened it, calling out inside, "Elsweyr, are you home?" When he wasn't met with an initial answer, he turned, ready to head out and wait until another time. However, he stopped because of a noise. A frantic gasp of breath, drawn in by someone clearly frightened.
Feeling a frown come to his muzzle, the lion turned and headed inside, heavy steps leading him to the disturbed pile of blankets that Ares had previously been curled within. He could see the fear in her eyes, and immediately knew what had happened. It wasn't hard to put together, from the fact that she seemed panicked and fearful, along with the fact that she had been in bed. He too had been plagued by nightmares at some points in his life, with them still occasionally happening on the bad nights. Making sure to be cautious, Aurum slowly approached, questioning softly once he grew close, "Ares, are you all right? Can you look at me...? I think you had a nightmare." He also knew what it felt like to still feel trapped inside the world that your mind had created. He only hoped that he could snap the girl out of it, so that she wouldn't be forced to focus on the visions any longer. — OF THE MAN WHO WAS BORN AND DIED A KING.
