Aurelia
over the riots
above all the noise
above all the noise
As Sah and Cordelia make their leave, she waits with baited breath until the door clicks closed behind them. Then, her shoulders fall and a sigh heaves through her lips, a whisper, a sliver of all the stress and strain weighing on her mind.
She can feel those jade green eyes on her, and for a second she feels irritated. "Hotaru and Noah's leadership was doomed from the beginning," she says sharply, teeth chattering against each other when she's done speaking. A breath is pulled in to steady herself, and she finally looks at Maeve. "It was only a matter of time," this is said softer, gentler, Aurelia unable to be harsh when staring in the face of the woman beside her.
"Torchline is known for being a city of thieves, and even then? That the people of Halo went along with those two? If it wasn't idiocy, then it was fear. They are too afraid of war, of people stronger or bigger than them, too afraid of being caught up in the storm to stand up and speak - let alone fight for themselves," it makes her blood boil, drawing a dark red color into her cheeks that burns and stings with her anger.
"I never want Torchline to be afraid. I don't want them to know the meaning of fear."
