The scent of The Typhoon on the air usually put Aurum at ease, and this time was no different. After all, the arrival of someone from their allied group was – usually – a good sign, and the luminary had no reason to believe that it would be different this time. He couldn't even begin to think that anything had happened to Roxie that could warrant bringing some bad news, and he couldn't recall hearing of any major new scandals. So, as the golden tiger approached, he had a bright and cautiously optimistic smile on his muzzle, thinking that they were going to be invited to some sort of event – or perhaps were just getting a visitor.
What he wasn't expecting to find was a former Typhooner looking to join their ranks. The way Brandy spoke was so blunt and calm that it caught Aurum off guard, the angel blinking a couple of times and tilting his head, as if unsure of what he had heard. After a moment of looking the other over, however, he paused. His bright smile turned to a slightly uneasy frown as he questioned, head still tilted, "You... You're one of Goldie's kids, aren't you?" It was hard not to see a resemblance, even if Brandy didn't look nearly as obvious as he once had in the past. Swallowing back the uneasiness in his chest, Aurum then rumbled, "Obviously you're free to join, if that's really what you want. I'm Aurum Kingmaker, and I'm the leader around here... I'm also a friend of your mother." He wanted to ask why Brandy had decided to move, but... well, Atbash had already pretty much covered that line of questioning, and he didn't want to push too hard.
