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

Aurelia glanced down as he relaxed, putting his leg up on the table and sinking further into his seat. She could not reflect that body language back at him, however. It was still difficult here, even given how much time she'd spent and the potential friends she had made. So she remained upright. One of her fingers softly tapped against the glass in her hand almost rhythmically.
She looked back up when he implied that he wouldn't mind sparring again. Aurelia only nodded absently in response, however, "Yeah.. I bet." If she was fully in the present moment, she probably would've rolled her eyes at his shit-eating grin. But she had a few questions in mind, ones that she'd been mulling over for a few days, that she thought he might answer.
"Sunjata," she started, hesitation in her words, "when I talked to you last time, you said that your old home didn't have magic of any kind, right? Then, how did you gain those abilities? Is everyone here capable of that?" That was how it worked in her old world, anyway. All you needed to do was learn it, although that was a hell of a lot easier said than done. She was curious to see if it was the same in Caido.

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
