can i be the only hope for you?
Aurelia's brows furrow at the fact that the heralds aren't present during Longnight. If it's something someone had told her in the past, it's slipped her mind by now. Her head inclines a little with a thoughtful frown present on her expression, staring at the shrine. She watches curiously as Melita glides her hands over the feet. "Well, even if Ludo's not here, maybe he's listening," she says with a clever smile, tipping her nose down at the statue. In good spirits and to show her support, she slips forward through the waves. She glances back at Melita with a hesitant quirk of her brow, reaching for the feet as well, as if silently asking 'like this?'
It feels a bit awkward to be rubbing someone's feet, even if it's a statue, but she supposes maybe that's the point; to humble oneself. So she bites back brazen words of 'tell the ghost whales we said fuck off!' It takes her a moment to think of something better, though, as she stares down at the detailed bumps and ridges worn down by ocean salt. "Wish us luck," she requests simply, "we'll probably need it..."
At that, she lets out a ragged sigh and sloshes back towards Melita. "Alright, you ready? Way, hay, roll an' go!" She grins, picking up her feet to return to the shore quickly. She'll spend the remainder of the night (or day, whichever!) engaging in food and drink and maybe even a bit of dancing with Melita.
