Aurelia
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Sunjata's conspiratorial tone makes Aurelia have to hold back the laugh so as not to disturb the babies, but she offers a broad smile of amusement. "Well they're yours, aren't they?"
As the conversation turns back towards adult matters, though, it seems to bore Romeo back toward sleep. She carefully begins to rock him back and forth so as to encourage that, but her gaze rests carefully on Sunjata as he speaks on his plans or lack thereof.
Understanding darkens her expression and she nods gently, "We're all trying to protect our families and friends..." or the ones they've made, "that's the hardest part about it all." At least, those she refers to would be the type to worry about things like that. Except maybe Jack. Maybe. The captain has a heart in there somewhere, she's sure of it, even if it's tiny and black.
She wants to say more. Yet... Romeo has drifted off on her shoulder and she wouldn't dare utter another word so as to keep him asleep. They can always talk more later, the important thing is that their friendship is not lost. And now that she knows where he lives, she can come and find him more easily.
fin!

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
when you're ready to sleep
