Rin is delighted by the thought that Aurelia has a roommate. (At least, that is how Rin has interpreted the woman's words; playful banter in remembrance of a fond friendship.) After all, the girl has never really had a proper home. When she was younger, she lived with only her father, but that house had not been home. The thought that Aurelia has someone she lives with and speaks about so openly is inspiring to Rin, who never had the opportunity to do such a thing. Aurelia has a home, with other people and fond recollections of it all that make her chuckle by simply talking about it (even with strangers, such as Rin). "Ok, if you are sure," she replies with a smile, eventually taking her first bite of the food.
Then Aurelia stands up and tells her that there are better places to stargaze than an alley. Although Rin agrees that there are better places to admire the stars, such as places with few people and dimmer lighting, this seemed to be the lesser of many evils when considering safety. From the stories of faraway places she has heard, it appears that Haulani - and by extension Torchline - is one of the worst cities to find yourself in poverty. If the tsunamis and typhoons are somehow unable to lay waste to the homeless, amoral criminals are usually close behind to finish the task. Rin didn't like to think about that though, always telling herself she will find a way to leave the tropics when the time is right.
She eats a little more off of the kabob.
Unexpectedly, the woman reaches her hand out and offers her aid in finding the aforementioned better locations. "Yes, maybe we could." With little hesitation, she grabs onto Aurelia and rushes to her feet, shaking the woman's hand before letting go. "Aurelia," she repeats back to the woman, solidifying the name in her memory. "I am Rin." She can't help but wonder where they will go next.
