Aurelia

Aurelia closed her eyes, relaxing against Lexa. She leaned back a bit into her arms. "Will it take long?" she asked quietly, not wanting to be away from Lexa. She found one of Lexa's hands and drew a small circle on the back of it with her thumb.

”not too long. i’ll be back before night fall.” she promised. looking out the window, it was probably getting late, only giving them an hour or so until she would have to leave.

Aurelia

Aurelia was glad that the meeting wouldn't be very long. "How soon is the meeting?" she asked quietly, wanting to be able to spend time with Lexa before she had to go.

”in an hour or two.” lexa said, pulling aurelia back into her farther.

Aurelia

Aurelia relaxed against Lexa, glad that she didn't have to leave right away. She closed her eyes, leaning back against Lexa. She rested her back on Lexa's shoulder, feeling safe and protected in her arms.

lexa leaned back into a pillow with aurelia still on top of her. ”aurelia?” she asked softly.

Aurelia

Aurelia lied back, snuggling against Lexa. "Yes?" she asked quietly.

lexa looked out the window and up in the air. ”can you tell me about the sky?” she whispered.

Aurelia

Aurelia nodded. "We lived in a big place up in space called the Ark. It was mostly made from metal, I think, and everywhere you went there was a hum from the machinery. The Ark orbited around the earth. It was beautiful up there. You could see the stars and the earth spinning below us. We could see the moon, and moonrises were particularly beautiful to watch. But it wasn't all good up there. We nearly had enough food,water, and oxygen. You see, outside of the Ark was an empty void of oxygen less space. There was no gravity there either, so we used technology to make our own inside the Ark. But technology was malfunctioning, and we were running out of oxygen. We were supposed to come back to Earth eventually, but the Ark had been made to support us for 100 years. It has only been 97, and we're already low on resources. They sent us down here because we had broken the rules. They needed people to check if the earth was safe to live on, and figured that our lives were worth the risk. They didn't care whether we live or die, they just wanted to be able to bring the rest if our people on the ground so they could survive." She paused, and continued. "I don't miss being up there, even though it was beautiful. The bad far outweighs the good."

lexa smiled and took a second to think about it all. running fingers through aurelia’s hair, she whispered. ”well i’m glad they risked your life, otherwise i wouldn’t have met you.”
