eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia arrives third, shrugging off the cold from her bare shoulders as she enters the shop dressed in a sleeveless shirt and durable pants. She glances around, mostly to see what there is to be done. At first, she's pleasantly surprised when she sees the familiar faces of Nate and Milo. Then her steps falter and she sort of freezes for a split second.
Ah... uhhh, shit.. Uneasiness spreads over her in the form of raised hair along her arms. Trying to ignore it, trying to act totally natural because nothing is bothering her, totally, she greets them all with a casual(ly nervous) grin.
"I didn't know you were the construction type," she directs this statement towards Nate, feeling slightly awkward even though she's trying to come across as light. He wouldn't say anything, would he? He wouldn't. But she couldn't remember whether or not she'd specifically told him to keep her past between them...
"Hey," she brushes up beside Milo, offering him a distracted smile, "Fancy meeting you here... Hope the Hels didn't give you any trouble?" She's trying to muster some warmth and humor into her voice, though it falls a little flat. Fortunately, she's here for a different reason other than Milo. Directing her attention towards Ray, her words and her smile feel a little smoother, "As promised, I'm here to help."
Without further ado, she makes her way toward the back of the building, where the workshop awaits. Her nerves dissipate the more she redirects her thoughts to the tasks at hand, to get a mental picture of what it looks like Ray is trying to achieve. Her brows seem to carry a permanent crease between them, for some reason.
