Aurelia
Aurelia pulls up the leg of her pants carefully over the wound, tucking it behind her knee and letting Ray do what healers do best. The numbing cream sets in and she tilts her head back, sighing gratefully for the chance to just not feel the pain for a moment. The wound itself? It's a bit pink, swollen and agitated more from walking than from any issue with the stitches. It seems almost healed, or getting there, and the thread comes out easily enough. "I think even I'm too proud to walk with a cane," she jokes, chuckling as she brings her head back up, "I don't think it's that bad, just needs more time. But something to bring down the swelling would be helpful. It tends to swell up at the end of the day.." Like now, for instance.
They're both stubborn about their moral principles, it would seem. It makes Aurelia smile with slight amusement and defeat. But the idea of helping Ray out around the shop? Doesn't seem like a bad one. She shrugs one shoulder and says, "Well, I'd love to learn more about what you do... I've never been much of a healer. I can do bandages and maybe stitches in a pinch, but it wouldn't be nearly as clean as that," and she motions briefly to her knee, "but I need to get better at that kind of thing." Considering what would be coming...
But the mention of LongNight monsters and sea monsters dissolves any mirth in Aurelia's expression, in favor of taking the news seriously. "A Longnight monster..?" Her gaze fixes on the table, thinking, "I wonder how it ended up in Halo. I thought they could only come out in the Grounds? Hopefully it was a-a straggler... not a sign of something worse to come..." And for the Sea of Glass, "Seren wanted me to help her break the surface of the sea out there... was it her that did it? Is that why I haven't seen much of her?"
