Aurelia
Disappointment fragments across her attuned nature, her muzzle lowering so that her still-green eyes can rake across the cold ground beneath her. She doesn't know what she had hoped for in the way of answers, so none at all... was she doomed to forever repeat the cycle? Was she really destined to be nothing more than a dangerous, unpredictable killer?
The thoughts drag her down, make her sink.. Until he rounds back toward her, and the muscles at the base of her ears twitch with hopeful curiosity as she peers back up at him. Ways of being able to predict her own unpredictable nature, it sounded like an impossible thing. But so did a lot of other things, before Caido. ...And... I can learn to stop myself from leaping over the edge, she adds on, ears flickering as her head lifts back up, if I can manage my fear in simulated situations, then I'll get better control over myself in the long run.
She snorts, nostrils flaring. Sounds a lot easier said than done, she scoffs, but as she looks across at Deimos he won't find any real doubt within the words. She knows it will require a lot of effort and calling upon inner strength. Strength she isn't so sure that she has, but then... maybe it could be created.
When can we start? She asks, tipping her head to one side.

keep your face always toward the sunshine
and shadows will fall behind you
