She pulls her foot back so as not to be knocked off her balance, but it doesn't make her any less willing to confront him. There is a noticeable pause in the start of her onslaught, however, when his voice rings clear with a type of exhaustion Aurelia knows all too well. The emotional kind. It might be easy to dismiss it as being brought on by dragging sandbags around, but she takes it that demigods could withstand a whole hell of a lot more than that.
Never mind it anyway. This is about Sunjata. Ronin can brood because he's guilty if he wants. If he feels guilty, maybe it's because he should. So yes, Aurelia marches after him with her arms folded firmly over her chest.
"Move on? I thought you were his friend, Ronin," she snaps with a bite to her words, "you said, I quote, "he needs to learn how to have fun" - or whatever. How's he ever supposed to catch a break with two demigods leaping down his throat at the first sign of trouble? What proof did you have to do that to him? Or let someone else do it. It's not any better, you know," she boldly moves to cut him off in his trail, glaring indignantly at him. "was it really only someone's word?" The fire in her gaze settles a little as she searches his face.
