Aurelia
over the riots
above all the noise
above all the noise
The scent of rain and smoke still lingers in the air, or maybe it's just stuck to her clothes. She's returned far later than she meant to, spent the waning hours of the day pacing the streets for one cause or another. The doorknob is hard to turn, though not by any fault of its own.
She enters the shop slowly. Pent-up breath releases upon finding that things seem okay. But the deep and shadowy furrow of her brow remains. As much as she'd love to give way to her aching exhaustion, her mind won't let her rest. Stress clenches her teeth, snakes through her muscles, pinches her bones together.
Upon realizing that Milo is there, she stops short. Her eyes glue to him where he's busied himself with making nets. They tangle down around him, and if she didn't know better this would feel so normal. "You're awake..." she's not expecting her voice to sound as hoarse, as void of all the emotions storming through her.
Her lips part but she doesn't hardly know what to say. Back to the Slagveld, the entirety of that chaos? To Jack? To Seren or Adam? Even as she tries to search for a place to begin, the only words that really want to surface are 'I'm a failure'. Her chin trembles and her gaze immediately plummets to the floorboards between them.

i still hear your voice
