AURELIA
and my hands aren't clean
maybe they never will be
maybe they never will be
Aurelia visibly relaxes as Hotaru's demeanor becomes more open. "Please," she nods, "tea sounds... good." At the prospect of a long conversation pertaining to what she's missed, she's willing to stay for a while. A brief pause is taken to glance about, though, as if she might find Sunjata waiting inside, as if she's surprised that he's not.
Before Aurelia can ask anything, she's handed her cup. She takes the seat across from Hotaru and sets her tea down on a nearby table. Attentive interest is given to what this woman says about Sunjata having been here since LongNight's beginning. Her gaze flickers down to the steaming tea in front of her, regretting her own doubt.
"It didn't seem to me like he'd have a reason to anyway. Even when I wasn't sure, I just couldn't think of a motive... unless there's something I don't know..." which is possible. Hell, she didn't even know about his wife, apparently! Her brows furrow and she leans forward, looking up to meet those odd-colored eyes, "Hotaru, what did they do to him? Who was it?" There's an edge to that last question that's rooted in vengeance. No one would wrongly accuse her friends - any of them - and simply... get away with it.
There's even a part of her that doesn't care if he's guilty or not. Aurelia will always be more loyal than just.

but they can still carry you home
when you're ready to sleep
