She narrows her eyes at him, at the way his tone becomes devoid of his previous emotions, the way his brows furrow as he seems to mull something over in his head. Options, perhaps. Is he wondering if he should put up a fight or not? This thought has Aurelia's instinctual urges flaring up a bit, to reignite the flame within and use it before he has a chance to strike.
But she makes no move, instead giving him the chance to respond. Tensions are high. Walking out of your front door? Lately, that alone has been risky business.

The bottom line is Aurelia doesn't know anything for sure about what it will be like when the war does eventually happen, but she knows she can't let her guard down now that it feels so close.
His explanation is taken, absorbed, and questioned further. "Who did you have to see in the Greatwood?" She asks, still suspicious, still not really caring if he doesn't like it. Get used to it, she wants to say; trust ain't gonna come easily for much longer.
"Do you know anyone named Deimos? Or Hotaru?" She asks suddenly, whether he's answered her previous question in the time she gave him.

Tell my feet they should run
but they don't follow
but they don't follow
