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's all too familiar with the ins and outs of a skilled spar, whether there are weapons involved or not. So, when Melita dives and dips and swings wildly around, she's caught off guard. Almost doesn't know what to do about it. Almost. She nearly leaps backwards, pulling herself away from the frenzy.
At first, she thinks she may get away again. Still, her gaze is confused as it flickers back to catch Melita's. What are you doing? she seems to ask silently.
Then, it all makes sense. It was a ruse! Aurelia's breath hitches as the staff swoops in, a startling move made with ease and contemplation. "Ah!" Her voice gasps out from the hit against her upper arm, but not because it was particularly painful.
Suddenly, things start getting a little swimmy. Including Aurelia's intentions. What were they doing again?
Oh yeah, fighting!
With a grimace and an inkling of cold sweat, Aurelia glides forward (Which feels super weird! Is that wind in her hair?) and lunges out with her body to slam against Melita, shoulder to shoulder.

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
