eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia smirks at his 'for some reason', wants to mock it, but she decides better of it. "Hey, she's not the only one..."
In truth, her offering had been humble, even she knew that. It was perhaps a deserved reaction, she thinks, but she cannot help how awful that initial rejection had felt. His playful smile relaxes her anxieties surrounding it, though, and she tries to think lighter of her mistake. "Yeah, I think so, too... everyone's told me that, anyway, and even she did. She said I was tainted by my magic," she lets out a smooth sigh, raising her brows and lifting a hand up to the back of her neck. "I wonder why they hate it so much. Not like I wanted it, either."
At his faith in her ability, she offers an easier smile and nods. "Hope so!"
She grows more serious, lowering her hand and smile, to listen to his thoughts. She nods in agreement, of her having her ways, and she thinks of a joke she might make about it in regards to getting things out of him. But it's probably best not to, at the moment. Would be in bad taste, probably. Her attention perks up when he says a shield would be fitting. "Hmm.. I've already done it, I think. I had to train, with protection in mind. Then.. ah... kill someone or.. save someone..." she trails off, and then adds, "obviously I didn't kill anyone. I saved Jack, actually, if you can believe it. He almost fell clean off the Leap of Faith. Hit his head pretty hard.."
