CAUSE EVEN BLOOD WILL RUN, LIKE THE TEARS OF A SAINT !
The sense of nostalgia that flooded her mind for the brief seconds following the initial call was immediately shot the moment Vigenere's name passed Aurum's lips, as if she'd been struck with a sack of bricks that could only hope to match the weight that reeked havoc on her heart when the realization set in. She was never one to express her grief or pain in the eyes of others, however, especially not when the wound was dealt during a time where she should have kept her head up high. Arrow grit her teeth together, swearing she could almost feel the grinding of the sharp ends against each other and pressure pushing into her jaw, but it was merely a trick of the mind. She truly felt nothing. What was that now? Four? Five down? A strained sigh quietly left her before she shook her head clear and skipped over the grounds, bouncing lightly off the ground as if to spite gravity itself.
She was, despite the grief locked deep within her chest, beyond proud of Aurum.
"Well look at you, big guy! I hope taking all them damn kids under your wing makes being our beloved supreme leader a little easier." Arrow winked with a wide grin, throwing a very undisciplined mock salute his way. She still felt a bitter taste in her mouth hearing the Pitt once again, as if she had yet to forget the crimes against Tanglewood humanity that took place. She would have liked to wish that the new generation would not be inflicted with such traumas, but the Coalition had seen to it they would be left with the same sting. Luckily, she had not been alive to relive her experiences once more. No telling what she would have inevitably done, if the last troubled time had left her clawing her own face off in a state of agitated panic. She wasn't proud of that.
