AURELIA
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Aurelia doesn't react too much to the idea of Sunjata marrying twice over. She absorbs the information, evident in the way her gaze travels around thoughtfully, but otherwise she makes no more broaching of their relationship. At least this is someone that cares about Sunjata, rather than... well, an infiltrator? Aurelia doesn't know what to expect at this point, whether she should be suspicious or simply take whatever she can get.
The woman steps forth but Aurelia's not so easily intimidated. Not that she's trying to be aggravational, but she makes no show of giving more space between them. If it's close proximity this woman wants, she can have it. Aurelia's not going anywhere until she gets something more. Pointedly, she also doesn't make any moves. No crossing of arms or side-eyed looks. She simply continues to level the other woman's gaze with her own. She only flinches at the use of the phrase 'barbaric justice'.
"Fucking bastards..." she can't help but mutter, feeling as if she's far too late already.
Pulling in a steadying breath, she lowers her chin to more squarely look this woman in the face. "My name is Aurelia, I'm a friend." Less defensive - because she understands how this other woman must feel, if she really is Sunjata's wife - Aurelia goes on to clarify, "I was an outlander, got here sometime in Longheat. Sunjata's been a great friend to me and I don't believe any of this is really true." She pauses, letting out a hot breath through her nose. "I came here to ask him myself if any of this is really his doing."

but they can still carry you home
