AURELIA
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
"Sorry! Sorry." The apology is addressed towards Neos before her attention zips back over to the couple.
The joke about the sear cat goes over her head, and she wonders about what Milo means, but she's glad that their arrival is a welcome one. Milo's flushing cheeks and awkward congratulations causes her hand to wrap around his side to try to smooth it over. But her gaze and her smile are still bright as she watches for the reaction to their gift.
There's a small laugh at the way the two of them play with it momentarily, and Aurelia is about to say something else when suddenly Nate pulls her and Milo into another hug. She wraps an arm around him willingly, not missing the deeper emotion that cracks in Nate's voice and eyes. "See you two at the reception."
Then, she and Milo make their leave from the couple as more and more people filter in. She doesn't know many of them at all. So when she spies Melita, she offers a smiling wave and a quiet gesture that might be able to be interpreted as 'come join us'.
In response to Milo's hand taking hers, Aurelia's attentions drag away from the other arrivals, towards the tables filled with food and drink. "Mhm. If you want! I could go for a bite to eat, myself," she says, heading in that direction, "I'll get us some food if you get the drinks? Something.. alcoholic, maybe. Gotta celebrate right," she nudges him playfully, "Ya want anything specific?"
As they reach the tables, she lets go of his hand and heads for the servings of food, looking over them at what there was to choose from. Her eyes lift up to a figure that pops out at her, someone vaguely familiar. Only, that familiarity makes her jaw square and her teeth grit, rather than put her at more ease. It's none other than mister 'street rat' himself, looking all edgy and out of place.
She has half a mind to go over there and ask him what the hell he thinks he's doing here but, she doesn't. She just sighs in agitation, letting go of it.. This is Sunjata and Nate's wedding, she won't be the one to ruin it for any reason. Inwardly, though, she decides to keep an eye on him. If he causes a ruckus, she'll be the first one he answers to.
Suddenly, she spies the sections of sweet foods; pastries and cookies and the like. Her thoughtful frown turns into a grin, all worries about the thief dropping. She spreads her arms up as if she's had some kind of grand victory, "Yes! I just realized I love weddings," She tosses Milo a wickedly humorous smile before she's piling a variety of food (including several different desserts) onto a plate. And yes, she does get food for him, too. She didn't forget, and she won't eat it all either.
Out of the corner of her eye, she does notice the newer arrivals. Zeph's here, to which she elbows Milo gently and nods toward the smuggler. "Look, Zeph's here. Now we really have to watch out for the Hels," she grins over her shoulder at him slyly, "they might want to get their revenge, after all. ...Hey, who's that with him?" Her gaze is now on the woman with dark, curled hair beside Zeph.
As she watches for what Zeph and his lady friend give the grooms, she spies someone else coming up to give a gift as well. This man's appearance is remarkably... unremarkable, and Aurelia has no idea who he could be. This man is different, though, not because he looks particularly un-special, but because he makes Sunjata's ever-present smile disappear entirely. Aurelia watches more closely as he nods and says something to Zephyr, and Sunjata's eyes narrow. Aurelia's brows furrow with confusion and her own smile fades.

but they can still carry you home
