eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia nods slightly, relieved that she hasn't accidentally picked a bone with Wessex over the subject. It's a tough position to be in, even for those on the outside looking in - more or less. And she understands, too, Wessex's hesitance to trust. It's not something she's asking for right away, not entirely. "I don't expect you to trust me, not with my allegiance to the Old Gods, even if my intention isn't to get involved with that part of it. I imagine.. somehow, I might get dragged into it despite my best efforts otherwise... My loyalty can be a flaw, at times," she glances down to the empty glass in her hands, "but a chance, maybe. That's all I can ask, and I'm willing to return the favor." One side of her lips perks up a little as she lifts her gaze back up.
Wessex claims that anything is possible, including bridging the gap, and Aurelia's brows raise at the fanged smile directed her way. Her expression eases up from its tension and she manages a smile of her own. "Absolutely," she says.
Though her brows do furrow again. She leans in on her elbows and lowers her voice more, as if the conversation has taken a secretive turn. "Wessex, what do you think it would take to do that? Bridge the gap - if it were possible. Hypothetically speaking, of course."
