can i be the only hope for you?
Melita has no need for feeling self-conscious about her shantying because, frankly, Aurelia's not much better. With the alcohol churning through her system, she doesn't bother refraining from this cacophonous combination of their voices. She lifts hers to catch the next lyric as Melita's words get tangled up in her own bubbles of laughter.The salty, frothy waves reach around their torsos at this point, but Aurelia's unperturbed. She's already soaked through, both by the ocean and drink.
The shrine, a faded statue of a man, is charming in a surpisingly humble way. It comes upon them sooner than Aurelia expects, voice fading into a surprisingly pleasant hum, which fades into the lull of the waves until there is a moment of clear pause. Her grip on the tarp slacks.
Pale green eyes lift up to Melita's wild head of hair, a smile filled with good nature lifting up one end of her lips, "Now what, Mel?"
Because you're the only hope for me
Aurelia
