Aurelia
It's later in the afternoon when Aurelia makes her way over to the Lunarium Apothecary. The sun has sunk in the sky enough that shades of orange pink have started to blot the clouds, but the night still feels a ways off. She looks up from the streets around her at the front doors of Ray's shop, eyeing the various plants that decorate its entrance. She remembers fondly the days she'd spent helping renovate the place.
Her mind continues to wander along those memories as she opens the doors, making no effort to hide her arrival -- but also not trying to disturb anything. If Ray was working or helping someone, then she didn't want to make enough noise to startle.
She walks into the front room, looking around for any sign of her friend. It had been a while since they'd last seen each other, and under different circumstances too. She wants to believe that Ray will understand why she couldn't just come straight back home, hoping that the other woman wasn't disappointed in her.
It takes her a few moments to muster up the courage to call out into the back of the shop, "Ray? Are you here?" she takes a few further steps, "It's... me. Aurelia."

What is clear is what is gold
You're only human after all
