Aurelia
Aurelia's expression curled into an incredulous smirk, promptly handing back the juice. "Gives it a real kick," she jested in return, all in good humor of course. Deep down, she hoped it really was a joke.
With fervor, she rose up from her spot knelt on the ground. The shaky protest in her muscles was mostly ignored as she moved to stretch her arms and legs with the first few steps she took after the other woman. The smile on Mildew's face did little to perturb her, Aurelia's own exhaustion working in favor of the offer. Even if she were more physically in shape, less fatigued, she wouldn't have been so bold as to outright decline. She might've been a little more careful to accept, but instead she simply said, "Very well. Lead the way."
As they went, Aurelia made sure to keep up with her normal routine of being non-destructive of the life around her. Sometimes it's important to leave a trail in the wild, to better follow your steps back. But in Aurelia's line of work, that wasn't the case. Out of habit and her own comfort - and, now, especially out of respect - she tread lightly. "So... How do you do it? You said something about cards?" The questions came across as more casual, but she was genuinely interested.
