eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia glances down towards Sunjata's hand as it goes to his chest, smile fading partly. He does get some amount of amusement from her joke, at least, which prompts her to slump into the opposite side of the booth from him.
"Ah, that would make more sense. I didn't think you'd be back to it so soon," she adds with little forethought to what she's implying. With everything that happened, he couldn't have been blamed for taking a step back. Torchline could clearly handle itself. But all the better for him, that he's resilient..
To his question, she lowers her gaze, letting it settle on his blueprints but not really looking at them. She takes her glass into her hand. "Yeah," she gives a single, distracted nod, before drinking. "That's why I'm here," she smirks over at him, lifting the drink pointedly.
She lets things settle and still for a few moments, leaning her elbows down onto the table.
"Why didn't you tell me anything, Sunjata?" She asks suddenly, but it's not an angry question. It's fueled with genuine confusion, maybe even a touch hurt.
