eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia ponders over this fact, feeling it strike a chord within her. Something vague Gideon had eluded to her, when she first met the man. "Ah.. that does explain a thing or two," her lips stretch into a concerned, hardened line as she grits her teeth at the memory of the priest. "Makes you wonder if their minds could ever be changed." She shrugs half-heartedly, though the sentiment is earnest she is not sure of how such a thing could be accomplished to begin with.
Sunjata's smile is almost feral, that roguish grin she knows and hates cropping back up. At least it means he's still himself... But Aurelia still shakes her head in amusement.
"Uh... yeah, we were exploring the Wilds. Got so high up through the vines you could only see the treetops," she thinks back to how she had reveled in the beauty, only for that to turn completely upside down. "He stepped on a loose piece of the cliff while we were up there and... Just- whoop-" she makes a comical sound effect and vague gesture with her hands to encompass the actual fall rather than explain it verbally, "Luckily he managed to grab onto a piece of the cliff side, in spite of his injuries. I think I was more freaked out than him, to be honest." She laughs a little at that. "Didn't know what I'd do if he just up and died like that. Eh, well... I wouldn't have to go on this voyage, that's for sure. Hmm, maybe I should've let him fall..." she smirks, her turn to have that roguish look on her countenance. It's a joke, of course.
