Saying that Tanglewood was a swamp was certainly quite the statement of the obvious. Pretty much everyone who knew even a scrap about Tanglewood knew that the group lived within a swamp, and at one time, Aurum had been rather irritated by that fact. The muck had constantly dirtied his fur, and he had been quite prone to getting overheated as a result of the humidity and his thick pelt combined. However, nowadays things were much different. While he still occasionally got overheated, he had pretty handily learned the territory like the back of his paw, and knew all the best routes through it. Not only that, but he couldn't easily imagine Tanglewood living anywhere else. If they did... well, they just wouldn't be Tanglewood anymore, at least in his opinion.
In spite of this, the angel could certainly see how the swamp would be difficult to navigate for a child, particularly one that only had three legs. It was because of this that the pregnant tiger had a look of sympathy on his face as he approached. A rumbling chuckle left him before he spoke, "It is indeed a swamp... sorry we don't have the best welcome mat, but it makes sure enemies had trouble getting to us. So... little one. Like Elsweyr said, I'm assuming you're here to join? Even if you aren't, I'll introduce myself – I'm Aurum Kingmaker, the luminary or leader around here. So if you have any questions... feel free to just shoot." He was glad that Mulder had already offered Ana some food, considering the growling coming from her stomach. However, even if she wasn't around to join, the large feline would still probably try to grab her a substantial piece of prey, just to know for sure she wouldn't be going hungry.
