Refreshed. That was how Aurum felt, now that all of the nonsense with the last meeting and The Pitt had been put behind him. Things had hopefully been worked out to an alright compromise, and the tiger was eager to get back to calmer things – things that mattered. Or at least, things that the group would hopefully enjoy.
The angel had mentioned a couple of meetings ago that he was making changes to the mask tradition, making masks more of an indicator of a Tanglers path through life. This meant that masks would be getting modifications more often, and Aurum wanted to make sure that there were at least a few among them that knew how to make such modifications. One would thing that it would be easy, considering it would presumably mostly just be carving wood and attaching various bits and bobbles. However, it wasn't really that simple. After all, one mistake while working on a mask could lead to it being ruined for quite a while, and since it was meant to be a symbol of an important journey now, that wasn't exactly ideal. He didn't expect everyone to be experts right off the bat – he didn't really think any of them were master wood carvers, except for maybe Siborno – but they could have fun with it, and hopefully learn things along the way. Plus, it could serve as a sort of relaxation – and maybe even give some Tanglers a new hobby.
So, Aurum had gotten to work gathering the necessary supplies for a class, which thankfully wasn't too hard. By the time he was done, he had a large table set out near the middle of town, covered in various simple masks, title badges, and other smaller accessories for unique decoration. He had also included carving tools and various types of glue, hoping to show off several different techniques during the class. Once he believed he was done with setup, the pregnant golden tiger sat back on his haunches, resting his paws on the edge of the table as he called out, "Tanglers! If you'd like to learn a bit about mask-mending, please gather around." As soon as he saw others beginning to approach, he also added on, "This isn't required, but it is meant to be a class that can hopefully teach you a new skill, and perhaps leave you with a new hobby. We'll also be going over simple techniques first, so don't worry about hitting anything too complex." Part of him wished that he had roped Siborno into helping him teach, considering the other knew so much more about wood carving.
