Aurelia
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
She's vaguely aware of Seren's companion's movements, but she's too winded and exhausted to pay it much mind. It being a dragon might spark a bit of wonder within her at any other time, but now? Now it's just one of those little things, overlooked like they so often are. And she's tried to fill her life fuller with them, with those little moments and rare things. Beneath the crushing weight of reality they always seem to fall away, and a dark depression lingers deep in the fibers of her being upon coming to this melancholy realization.
Yet she's attentive to Seren, because this moment matters and feels so defining - or potentially damning. The hint that's dropped in the way that her shoulders stiffen doesn't go unnoticed. Seren has something she wants to say, and Aurelia's gaze flashes with a need to know what. But she bites back her impulsive tongue and lets the girl speak in a way that's comfortable for her.
She heaves a tempered sigh and points out, "If we don't know who they are, Seren, and they remain free? There is a high chance that they will do something like this again. Or they may do something worse. Whoever it was, they're not only a danger to others but a danger to themselves." It's imperative that they're found and held accountable, but of course fighting or killing them doesn't have to be apart of that.
Her brows shift with speculation and she has to ask firstly and foremost, "Who did you get this information from? Are you sure they knew what they were talking about? This is a serious accusation to be making, we can't take it lightly." Was it a reliable source, or simply conjecture, rumor? Perhaps it would be easier for Seren to start from the beginning.

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
