Aurelia
I never had a chance to be soft
I was always bloody knuckles and shards of glass
I was always bloody knuckles and shards of glass
Aurelia lifted her eyebrows in surprise at his comment but, she did find it somewhat comforting. An ally outside of her deal with Jack wouldn't be a bad thing, should things ever go wrong. She didn't intend on that, though. Not now, now that she knew more about her predicament. Sunjata had clearly been around Caido for a while... if there was truly a way out, he would undoubtedly be closer to it than she would. Well, that was, if he wanted to even go home. Maybe that answer was no. Maybe, then, there was still a chance...
She tucked that idea away to the back of her mind, straightening up to listen to his answer. She wanted to know how to avoid getting on the Ark's bad side. At least, if she could help it.
Aurelia frowned seriously as the information was delivered. She didn't quite know the entirety of the crew very well, not enough to be able to recall all their scars. She'd have to pay attention when she went back, to see who he was referring to. Sunjata having a husband was intriguing, especially the part where he kicked Jack's ass. It made her chuckle at the thought. She had nothing against Jack but, the image of him getting an ass-kicking was pretty amusing.
The part about the octopus made of lava caught her by surprise, though. How was that possible? A lava octopus. Her raised one very skeptical eyebrow.
"So... what I'm understanding is, he holds a mean grudge. But he must care about his people, to go up against you for their honor - or whatever it was... I think I can handle that. At least I won't have to play arbiter for them," she had a hand gripping her chin as she thought aloud, "but you don't have to worry about problems like that with me, either. I keep my head low most of the time. Had to, where I'm from. I don't go out looking for a fight,"
"Still, though - I hope I can meet your husband someday," she grinned, "I'd love to take ass kicking lessons from him, 'just in case'."
Not that she was untrained in self-defense or even offense. However, she couldn't shake the feeling of weakness she had since coming through the portal. Some sparring would do her good.

I wanted people to be afraid of hurting me
