Aurelia
"I'm just glad to hear she's doing well on her own. We only wanted what was best for Torchline. My hope was that she continued on in that pursuit without me. But I can't imagine what she must think of my disappearance..." It can't have been easy on her own, but then, they had built up a council for a reason. Granted, disappearing for months had not been apart of the plan... "Or Milo- what he must be thinking and feeling-" she looks at the glass, feeling all the heartache for him come slamming down on her chest, and then she looks back up at Jack, "How is he?" She's hesitant, for all the reasons she ought to be.
She might've expected not to see it tonight. Her lip curls and she breathes a small sigh of relief at being allowed to come along the Ark's ventures once again. It's probably the only place she really fit into here, after all, but her ambition had blinded her judgement. "Do you think it wise, that I come back? People will want answers that I.. don't know if I have." She shifts with unease and adds, "I don't know what they will expect of me but I... I don't want to be queen again. I don't even want to be on the council or... apart of that side of things. It-it was too much for me I think. I lost myself in it."

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