Aurelia
As she surveys the scene, she takes notice of Adam's presence, and she's panged for a moment. If she were to let her emotions take precedent, she might go to his side, to let him know of her presence, to let him find some comfort in it. But she thinks, logically, that he would not find that with her. Especially since none of the people present know of her new shift. In fact, most of them are unaware entirely of her Attunement.
So she locks her limbs in place, remaining still, remaining hidden, even when she notices Theo too. Even when Wessex grasps onto the tiny crowd she's drawn around her, showing off the weapon she had made through the Voice.
Her jaw sets, fangs clenching together and muscles feathering as she lets the words fall aside. Torchline has always been dedicated to Safrin - at least, as far as Aurelia knows - and surely Wessex knows this as well. She has also not forgotten the woman's perspective of the war; the want to minimize casualties, the lack of bloodlust. She knows this is not an attack. In fact, it looks a bit like a cry for help.
Help that Aurelia wishes she could offer, but cannot. So she merely remains, and she remains ever-vigilant. But she will not interfere if Wessex's endeavor here is successful. Let people choose the side of the line they want to fall on. The sooner they do, the better.

There's a game they play that I'm not part of
Tearing at the weaknesses and all the faults they know
