eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia smirked at the crack Saiden made and added, "You should've seen him try to catch 'em. He caught himself with the net." She let out her own small laugh, remembering the sight of him floundering about in the waters, tangled up in the netting.
She nodded at Saiden's question of if she wanted to be sous chef, watching as he reached for an apron on the wall. In a swish of movement, she caught it and looked it over.
"You got it, chef," she said as she tied the apron around herself. Then, scooping up the mantas, she brought them over to the sink. Although, noting the dirt on her palms, she took a moment to wash her own hands and arms first. The water was cool against her heated, red skin and she let out a soft sigh of relief.
Onto the actual task. She picked up one of the mantas and it almost fell through her fingers with just how slick and slimy it was. Curling her lip, she dunked them one by one under the water, using her fingers to wipe away any sand or grime.
Picking them up a bit haphazardly, she brought them over to where Saiden stood in front of a cutting board. She approached him on his right side and plopped them down onto the board. "All clean!"
Tilting her head around to examine the mantas, she asked, "Do you eat these a lot? ...They don't look all that appetizing."
