WILL THIS PHASE EVER END // (open?) breakup

ANGEL ❝ AURUM ❞ TANGLEWOOD

If someone were to ask him to be honest, Aurum would say that he knew very little about Morgan, or what the other had been like. He had only ever heard things secondhand about the former leader, and everything seemed to cast him in either a very positive or very negative light. It wasn't hard to see why, when the entire group could be so terribly divisive about who they liked or disliked, or who they supported. As a result, the lion had refrained from forming too many opinions about the other himself. He had no right to, not when he didn't even know the guy. The very least he could say about him was that at least it seemed like he made Vig happy, from what Aurum understood. Of course, the angel had no idea of the full scope of Vigenere and Morgan's relationship, and thus he didn't know about all the ups and downs, nor the long distance. Obviously it would make sense, considering Vig was in Tanglewood and Morgan and his son... weren't, but the former proxy had made no assumptions. After all, he couldn't know all of the members of Tanglewood and where they were 24/7.

Now, if someone had asked Aurum whether he thought Vigenere and Morgan would break up, he probably would've given a noncommittal shrug. Mainly because he didn't know much about their relationship, but he did know about just how quickly a relationship could crash and burn. So, even if they were the most lovey dovey couple in the universe, everything could end up finishing in an instant. When Vigenere had ended up practically floating on air when he arrived back in town, Aurum had actually figured that something nice had happened with Morgan. Maybe Vig went on a date, or went to visit his lover and son. Either way, the lion certainly wouldn't be expecting that the feline was so happy because he and Morgan had broken up. As a result, Aurum felt little hesitation in approaching the other, letting out an amused chuff, "Hey Vig... you seem happy today. What's going on?" It wasn't exactly unusual for Vigenere to be in a good mood, but... well, yes, it kind of was.
