Aurelia
and that the world is always our fault
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
The wyrms made their retreat with her sudden, angry appearance. Aurelia relaxed as the last of them left. She turned to see that the girl had managed to get herself back up to the safety of the crow's nest, where the remains of the wyrm's own nest lay. Aurelia would've moved to help the other girl but, she was quicker to help herself.
"Of course," Aurelia replied, "I'm just glad you didn't fall."
As Aurelia began to help untangle bits of the nest and clear them from the crow's nest, she noticed the other girl seemed shaken - and perhaps frustrated. Aurelia slowed down a bit and watched her a little closer, to check for signs of injury or what-have-you. When she could see none, she supposed the only wounded thing this girl had was her own pride. Well, Aurelia had made a fool of her own self but, everyone had moved on from that pretty quickly. So, in an effort not to further damage the other person's pride, she said nothing as they finished up.

and I've been thinking that when we thought
the world would break us, that we weren't wrong
the world would break us, that we weren't wrong
