can i be the only hope for you?
Aurelia stands to her full height and wrings out her sopping wet shirt, not that it'll do much. Melita's giggles bring a smirk to her own face, but she listens for a moment to the answer. There's a raise of her brows and a slight nod of 'ah, I see'. Makes... sense...? Aurelia's not sure, actually, if it does - but hey! Whatever floats her boat? Or ship, in this case. "What's so funny? Never seen a mermaid before?" She asks sarcastically, pushing strands of wet hair out of her face. She smiles. "You could say that... you seem to be a bit encumbered, though.." she answers of the question, eyeing the ropes Melita's tugging at.
Well, whatever it is Melita's doing and regardless of whether Aurelia's drunk brain can comprehend why, count her in! She sloshes through the waves with decisive action and picks up the tail-end of the tarp to help lighten the load. "Alright, heave-ho!" Putting her back into it, she makes all attempts to carefully help Melita finish taking the bone to its designated shrine. She tries to step carefully and maybe trips a few times.
"Should we sing a chantey?" Aurelia racks her brain but, in spite of hanging around the ships for some time now, none have stuck with her. Lackluster, she admits, "I don't know any though..."
Because you're the only hope for me
