Aurelia
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Aurelia is staring at the tea spread with her hands folded on the table counter, thumb rubbing rhythmically over the ridge of her knuckle as she awaits the arrival of Greatwood's diplomat. She glances over at Maeve with an unreadable look in her eyes as the other queen stands, and then her gaze moves to the small woman that's being guided inside.
She moves to stand shortly after, as well, offering a nod - though she does not smile or add anything to Maeve's welcome at first. Following suit, she does extend her hand to the fae in turn. This is where she will smile, at last. "Welcome," she says simply, receding her hand once it's been taken to gesture to the chair opposite of hers, "Please, have a seat."
As Maeve pours the cups of tea, Aurelia takes her own seat and picks up her cup. She pauses just to hold it as she looks across at Juniper. "I'm sure you've heard about the transfer of power here," she starts off, glancing up at Maeve, "and you must be wondering where we stand, now that Sunjata has stepped down and.. war is coming." One of her brows quirks a bit, and then she takes a sip of tea as she awaits Juniper's explanation.

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
