Aurelia
and that the world is always our fault
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?

She'd give his hand a firm shake before letting go. The recognition that flashed over his features surprised her, made her brows raise. Her eyes glanced over to the small whale floating around beside him, shoulders easing as she let down her guard about it. This was another one of those companions. For someone filling big shoes, it was a little funny that a creature like that could've scared her at first.
Aurelia's gaze returned to Nate's quickly, though, and she nodded in agreeance. Eventually, they would've run into each other. Especially if she was friends with his husband. So, no, there had been no doubt in her mind she would meet Nate eventually.
She smiled slightly at the fact that Sunjata had actually told him about her. "Good things, I hope?" Humorously, she wondered for a split second if he'd told Nate about the fact that she'd beat him in a spar. Or that he'd absolutely scared the shit out of her when he shifted in front of her. It was the first time she'd seen anyone do that, so.. it had come as a bit of a shock.
Aurelia hesitated as Nate asked her if she was there for business, that light expression of hers changing into something else; something more conflicted. She looked down. "Truthfully, I didn't just come here to meet you. Even though I wanted to, there's also something I need to ask for your help with," she raised her eyes back up to his face, "Something happened to me right before I ended up in Caido but, it's kind of a long story..." she averted her gaze to glance around the clinic, actually taking a look at it then. Once again, she hesitantly brought her attention back to Nate, "In simple terms, I don't feel like myself. Like, I'm weaker than normal. I get fatigued too fast, as if all my strength has been zapped. It's very frustrating..."
"I hope I'm wrong and it's just because I'm in a different world, and I have to get used to it - or whatever. But, because of what happened to me before, I think I might've been cursed."

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
