Aurelia
Seven is, of course, welcomed up onto Aurelia's shoulders. The gesture is appreciated, whether Seven is doing it out of consideration or not.
The humor fades from Aurelia's expression as she straightens up and watches the captain rub his hand over his jaw, over a... Is that a star? It's hard to tell in the current lighting but, she thinks it is.
"I don't blame you for not," she replies without missing a beat - though not in a defensive kind of way. She expected this. Still, regret softens the furrow of her brow, that she lost the captain's trust, that she lost.. a lot. Maybe more.
Mentally she starts bracing for the impact of, well, the consequences of her actions. But instead...
There's a small shake of her head as to whether she knows much about what's changed. It's followed by a glint of surprise in her gaze when he invites her into the cabin. Reaching up to support Seven's balance with one hand, she carefully picks her way into the captain's quarters. She's relieved to take a seat, sighing into it and giving things a few moments to settle.
"Well, for starters.." she looks up with arched brows, "I see you've got something new," and she taps her cheek with her finger (in reference to his star tattoo). "What's that about?"

looking in the mirror, drop of rum on my tongue
with the warning to help me see myself clearer
