Aurelia looked up from the mess she'd gotten herself in - literally... also figuratively. Well, let's be honest, everything was a mess. Standing over her was a man with grizzled locks of hair. He extended his calloused hand out to her right as she mumbled out, "..sorry,"
She hesitated a moment because she was unsure. They'd both just end up falling - and this would be an even bigger mess than it already was. For that moment, she contemplated whether it'd be better if she just stayed down. Then again, there was work to be done and contributions to be made. Aurelia wasn't not going to earn her keep, no matter how embarrassing this was. She took his hand firmly and smirked slightly as Jack made a comment about him - Zeph (which was an interesting name) - babysitting her.
She shot the captain an irritated smile and said, "What! I thought this would be faster! Falling was not apart of the plan, though," she made a face as she flicked soapy water off of herself. It felt so damn slimy, and ugghhhh.... walking around was going to be very un-fucking-comfortable. Whatever, I've dealt with much worse, haven't I?
Turning back to Zeph, she offered him a less irritated, more genuine attempt at being friendly, "I'm actually used to patching stuff up. I've been-" she cringed "I was the handyman around the house, since uh... yeah," well, she wasn't going to go full on my-dad-died-when-I-was-young on them. Moving on with an awkward clearing of the throat, she grabbed herself a few pieces of ply and some spare nails. She began to help Zephyr get the repairs done, holding a piece of wood in place for him here and there and taking over any tasks he might've wanted her to do. She was not a silent helper, however; with every step, her boots squeaked. Greaaat...
"Is that a spider?" It quickly received a face full of boot, "...not anymore."
