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 took in the information. Her finger stopped tapping the glass and she took a prompt sip. It was smooth and warmed her center, bringing a small flush to the bottom of her cheeks with each sip. She leaned her elbow on the arm of the chair she was in. Her gaze wandered slowly to the ground and back up to Sunjata as he explained how he became an Attuned.
"Safrin- that's one of the gods, I'm assuming?" she raised her eyebrows in question, though they fell back down as he added that all it took was a question. His grin made her pause for a moment as she watched the cat-like teeth stick out from the rest. "How did you feel after you were... changed? Because I can't tell if I have any abilities. All I feel is weaker - a lot weaker - than I was before I came here. That spar was the first time I've felt sort of normal," she sighed, exasperated. Talking like this made her stressed out, if she was honest, if it wasn't already obvious. But, she needed to figure things out; had to traverse through this new world and find her place in it. She wasn't sure if she could, at times. "Not that I've tried to find out. I hope I'm nothing more than an Accepted... You can have all the magic," she offered a half-smile to emphasize her joke, though there was no real feeling behind it and it left her lips instantly.

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
