Aurelia
there's a heart here cast in stone
and there's a past i must atone
and there's a past i must atone
Aurelia tilts her head gently and her brows furrow. "Do you really think of people so harshly?" She asks rhetorically, knowing the answer is surely no. "Perhaps holding the Gods to such a high standard is cruel of us, to demand that they never make mistakes... and to brandish them as villains when they do."
She certainly knows what that feels like.
As for Safrin? Aurelia sighs heavily. "Even without all of her godly qualities, your mother is a pillar of strength. She sees people for what they truly are, and so many of us are afraid of that. I think that's what makes her so daunting to so many people; they're afraid she'll spot their deepest flaws. And she will.. but she forgives those. Doesn't she?" Aurelia comes up beside Seren, gaze gentle yet prodding. "She forgave me, for being an Abandoned. For having darkness in my soul. She gave me light, instead. Because she knows that we are more than what we've been through, we're more than our weaknesses."
Safrin saw her potential and did not deny it to her simply because she had made a few mistakes. She would extend that same understanding back to the goddess, if it were ever needed.
"We've not forgotten," Aurelia says flatly of Halo, drawing back so that Seren can walk ahead.
