Aurelia
'cause not everything means something, honey
so say the unsayable, say the most human things
so say the unsayable, say the most human things
The relief is like a lifeline. Aurelia sways slightly from the release of that anger that gripped her right at her core, shooting throughout her body and forcing her to react, to try and swallow it down. But it's such a familiar territory for her, that distinct kind of unfettered rage, it's difficult to master her own on top of his.
Relief is short-lived within them both, however. As soon as he turns his hard stare toward her, she's hit with a wall of mixed and muddled emotions. Most prominant is the paranoia that sends her blood coursing and her heart thudding wildly against her chest. Beneath it, there's a flicker of something else; darker and deeper and she dares not try to wade further. No, instead, she does her best to retreat from this - whatever the hell it is.
She'd had no idea Attuned were so interconnected like this. Is he even aware he's doing it?
Her gaze peers up at him as his voice cracks and dies. "I am different," she swallows hard, feeling the rise of bile within her throat, "The Wilds did this to me... changed the way I look. I'm me, but I've changed. In more ways than that. When- when I went to Safrin- she attuned me. And Sunjata, I need you to stop whatever that is. I-I can feel everything.." and she looks like she might become physically sick with it.
"Look, I'll prove it's me if you want me to, alright, just... calm down. Please."

if everything is temporary
I will bear the unbearable
I will bear the unbearable
