Aurelia
and that the world is always our fault
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
Aurelia tilted her head up at the unexpected gesture of kindness in his words. Unexpected only because she hadn't been looking for it. She was doing her best to embrace this new world, new experiences, and - consequently - her new life. Admittedly, though, she would always harbor regret. Regret for not knowing better, not being more careful, not listening to her friend... She nodded, agreeing but, not quite feeling the sentiments she yearned to have, just for that moment.
Sucking in a long breath, she waited for Nate's next instructions, thinking this similar to the other physical exams. But then he was grabbing her wrist and sinking inhuman fangs into her skin. Aurelia's eyes widened and, at first, she could only lurch forward with the pain of the bite. Then... then it subsided into feelings of pleasure. It made her stomach tighten and her fingers curl, and that breath she held was released in a sigh.
Before she could even think or stop herself, her clenched fist went flying for Nate's face as he broke away from her skin. Her fist practically bounced off, though, and she grabbed it. Felt as if she'd punched a wall, or something close to it.
"Oh, shit!" She gasped, eyes widening again, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Ow, fuck!" she winced and rolled her wrist to try to shake the pain away.
"I- I never? That's never happened to me before. Did you just? Drink my blood?" She wasn't angry, no, moreso.. amazed that happened at all. And in all seriousness, she wasn't ignorant about the Ascended. Not in the basics, anyway, but, damn, it was strange to see for the first time - especially when it was you being bitten. And if she felt a bit lightheaded, that may have a bit to do with it.

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
