Aurelia
And that the world is always our fault
When we did nothing, how did we do wrong?

Aurelia stood near the supplies, watching as the crew filtered in. She had found some clean clothes to wear and her hair was pulled back by some twine. She was no longer the bloody mess that had first arrived on the docks, though her tension remained. After today's work, she intended on leaving to find more information.
Jack relayed the tasks he needed done to the crew, which was surprisingly small for such a large ship. The first to step forward was a burly man with dark hair, adorning an eyepatch. Briefly Aurelia wondered what happened to him, but she quickly stepped aside as he headed for a barrel nearby. Perhaps someone happier and more friendly would've said something to break the ice but, Aurelia was not happy nor did she boast the friendliest demeanor. She only nodded curtly to him as he passed. A redheaded girl, young and lively, waved at her. The gesture was so casual and bright in comparison to the disgruntled company she had been around until then, that she couldn't even think to respond before the girl was on to claim the 'challenge'.
What with everything that happened (and everything that could've been happening at home), she just wanted to do what was asked of her and work on getting back. So, without waiting for the task to fall to her, she said, "I've got the deck."
She located a water pail, plopped some soap into it, grabbed a mop and a bristle broom in the other hand, and set to work. Although she did keep an ear out for what Jack's challenge was. There was always a spark of interest towards anything deemed a challenge but, she didn't want to play the part of the fool.

Aurelia will swab the deck.
And I've been thinking that when we thought
The world would break us, that we weren't wrong
The world would break us, that we weren't wrong
