eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia made her way through the city of Haulani, trying to stick to main streets. She passed between the buildings and people, feeling slightly more familiar with them now. It was still a new and daunting feeling, walking streets out in the open without threat of being attacked by wild animals. That instinctive flutter of her heart often had to be stilled, her brain had to be reminded that this was a new place; things were different in Caido.
A net was slung across her shoulder - the spear was left behind with Jack. Her dark hair curled behind her head in miniature waves, sun-dried and bound into a ponytail to keep the frizz out of her face. Her boots were a little worse for wear but, they'd survive a few more dunks in the ocean yet. What she'd give for a fucking nap, though. Her limbs felt limp from the fast-paced trek from Aumakua and sweat beaded along her temples. It was only when she was ready to give up that she spotted a shack that fit Jack's brief description.
Approaching it, she tried to peer inside to see if Saiden really was there but, the sun hindered her vision. "Hello? Saiden? You in there?" She called. Upon getting closer, she propped up an elbow on the window and held up the net with her other hand. Three mantas were entangled within it, fresh and ready to be cooked. "I brought you these."
