Aurelia
and that the world is always our fault
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
when we did nothing, how did we do wrong?
No.
...?
Nope. There's no way in HELL that cat just opened its mouth and talked.
It had to have been Melita or some bystander. Aurelia's senses were still foggy from sleep, clearly. She glanced around, noting that no one seemed to notice the odd occurence (or at least, they didn't react directly to it). It must've been her imagination.
With a confused smirk at the fluffy cat, she offered an open hand for it to sniff. Everyone seemed charmed by its arrival. Saiden even offered it some of the food he'd made, which was surprisingly soft of him. At least, from her point of view.
Aurelia kept quiet as a few others joined in their circle, offering a quick wave to Zephyr after Melita. She didn't recognize the other fellow that piped up, further explaining from Saiden's point about what the lanterns were for. That information brought a thoughtful frown to Aurelia's face. Lanterns for those that were lost, or dead.
That was... pretty much everyone, for her. Her gaze grew dark and her expression fell. Melita chimed in with her own piece of new information. Aurelia furrowed her brows, wondering how that was possible. Her eyes landed back on the cat and, self-consciously, she tried to straighten her expression.
"That's kind of twisted... isn't it?" she remarked suddenly, a little hesitantly. She looked over at Melita, saying, "Only one person, out of... everyone?" She shook her head, brushing a few stray strands of hair out of her face. She added, "Well, I don't think I'd want it to be me anyway. It would be too hard to see... but not be able to actually be with them."

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
