Aurelia remembered having a similar effect on Seven not so long ago. The waif had very nearly suffered a medical event just from her approach - was she that frightening? She tried to relax the muscles in her face, and realized only then just how tight they felt.

How long had she been frowning for?

No wonder.

Struggling to rearrange her expression into something a little less frightening, Aurelia cleared her throat apologetically and briefly averted her gaze while Golde quickly collected herself after the scare.

Counting, she said tersely. Well, that wasn't going to help anyone feel more comfortable either. I like to make sure everyone is... present, before settling in for the evening.

Genghis' death hung unspoken in the air. What had he been doing so far out from home? Why hadn't she checked in on him sooner? Trust was integral, but what if - what if her negligence had killed him? Perhaps he might still be alive today. If only, if only... Aurelia realized she'd been holding her breath and sucked in a lungful of air with a sharp hiss.

I am surprised not to see you with Hexx, she said. If the Shakti-Vaes woman were anyone else, perhaps there may have been a certain wry, probing humor about the statement, but instead it simply came out and fell flat as only a statement. It was Aurelia's job to observe, and she missed little, even if she didn't understand the finer nuances of affection. I have not seen much of him since - then. Is he well?

Welcome Back!
