eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
It's settled then, and she'll let the topic drop. There isn't more that needs to be said, and she has no plans on reprimanding him for anything... well, anything else, anyway. Not as it stands. They've reached an agreement, made a solemn promise of sorts, and she can only hope they keep it.
The mention of Safrin reminds her that she needs to go and see the goddess, herself... and that she has also avoided bringing that up in light of everything going on with Sunjata. So her own fingers drum against the paper, tapping while his wedding ring clinks against his glass.
Her gaze lifts with a bit of surprise when he mentions he plans to announce Kamaria to the rest of Torchline. She blinks, almost stupidly, and then smiles. She's proud of him, in a way, for wanting to do that in spite of all the pressure resting on him, in spite of the disapproval from others.
"I'm sure Safrin will be happy to hear from you... I mean, especially now that you're the father of her daughter," and she suggests in regard to the monsoons, "there's no harm in trying."
"You should tell the world about your daughter," Aurelia adds, and more thoughtfully goes on to say, "I think it will bring a lot of people hope. That there's new life still, in spite of whatever they're going through," she pauses to take a sip of the water that's brought to the table "plus, everyone loves babies- or, er- kids too."
More seriously, she looks back down towards the paper in front of her and admits, "I need to go and speak to Safrin soon, too. Maybe after the voyage. I finally went and saw her after LongNight... she gave me a quest."
