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?
Aurelia was taken aback by Saiden's clear disapproval, meeting his frowning eyes with her own, uncertain gaze. "..Sorry." she replied quietly. She reminded herself that she was around people who had lived in this place for longer than her; they had made this place their home. They shared and celebrated the culture, whether they were originally from Caido or not. She hadn't thought much about being respectful of the tradition but, considering Saiden's warning, she fell silent. Her bitterness and frustration was ill-placed in this setting so she sucked it up.
Aurelia leaned back as Saiden leaned down to talk to the cat that currently sat in her lap, glancing over at the other man that spoke up. She couldn't place him but, he seemed familiar with the others. Was he another member of the crew, perhaps? Nonetheless, she offered him a small, appreciative smile at his attempt to lighten the mood. She watched as both Saiden and the other man returned to crafting their lanterns. She took that time to eat her food.
After a few minutes went by, Aurelia gently lifted the {freaky, talking} cat from her lap and brought it over to Saiden, standing by after she set it down beside his lantern. "Hey, that looks really pretty, Saiden..." It was nicely made and her words were genuine. She pursed her lips to the side, trying to think of how to ask but, she felt awkward regardless, "I honestly would like to make one, too, if you don't mind showing me how... You make it look pretty easy." She brought an uncertain hand up to rub the back of her neck, glancing between him and the lantern.

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
