Aurelia's brows raised and lowered in quick succession to his prickly way of saying 'you're welcome'. It's not like she had unwittingly signed up for this; she knew that they wouldn't be forging a smooth-sailing path. Hell, she'd already seen what awaited them in the open ocean and Sunjata had told her of fighting a lava octopus. She was much less afraid of wherever this agreement was going to lead her than she was of being alone; cast away. Maybe that was strange of her but, she had spent so much of her life hiding under the ground, only coming up to do unspeakable things for a nefarious government.
Aurelia followed him out of the water, her soggy clothes hanging against her muscular frame. Her shirt slicked against her skin and her pants tightened around her legs, creating a rather uncomfortable feeling.

Knowing what everyone else's role was on the Ark was going to prove helpful for the fact that Jack wanted her to get acquainted with all of their tasks. That was something she could do, and she saw the logic behind it. She did need to learn more about being on a ship, especially if she wanted to become a valuable part of the crew.
Still holding onto the shiny jewel in her palm, she reached out for the net with her other hand, "Here, let me take them to him. The least I can do is help him cook what I caught," her gaze traveled up from the net of mantas and up to Jack's sharp blue eyes, "Don't worry, Jack, I won't fuck this up."
