eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia grinned, herself, at Saiden's promise to tease Jack about it. "Oh, no, don't do that," she said sarcastically, everything about her expression saying that she hoped he would.
When he made room for her, she hesitated for a moment and made a slightly sour face. She wasn't particularly interested in cutting up these weird, slimy, fish-like creatures. The thought actually grossed her out. Which was funny, considering she'd spent years doing heinous things to people and even spent some of that time hunting animals. She'd often carved their pelts and cut their meat for food or to sell but, something about the sea animal in front of her was just... not sitting well with her.
Still, she wasn't one to offer help and then not actually give it. So, she took a knife and watched what Saiden was doing for a few moments. Then, doing her best to copy his actions, she set to work on her own manta. "Well! Then it'll be a first for both of us." She offered him a quick smile but, stayed focused on the cutting board for the most part.
As she diced the manta, a question came to the front of her mind. She asked it without looking, "So... how long have you been with the Ark? It seems like you've all known each other a while."
