I know Sunjata once told me he wanted to stay neutral, not take a side or involve Torchline but... he must know it will come to a head. I think everyone else knows it, too," she shifts in her seat almost uncomfortably, restlessly. Her feet shuffle against the floor for a moment as she readjusts and manages to say, "I know what will happen then won't be easy for any of us, but either way it will be something we all have to face. With or against each other. It's what comes after, I'm not sure about."
"I don't know," Aurelia admits, "I was hoping you'd have a better idea than me. I still feel like I'm just an outsider looking in," her brows lower and she sighs with the defeat of it all. "It seems so much like this is the Gods' fight, not the people's. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but... maybe someday someone will figure it out. Maybe we can work together, if it's not too late already.." Yet she can't bring herself to try and smile reassuringly, because this is all so dark and heavy. "I just wish there was another way."
