(Scorn) Aurum listens attentively, but clearly her bubble is burst. The sparkle of enthusiasm is gone from her eyes as she does her best to seem attentive. She had hoped for girl talk with someone who might have indulged her romantic side, but the hard truth and political discourse steered her mind into a place where she had absolutely no clue how to react. Despite her young adult trappings, she is still only ten physical years old, and her young, inexperienced mind races for a solution to the conversation.

She fortunately doesn't have to find one. Lucida sees her sister's expression and takes it upon herself to interject.

"Do we have to have this part of the conversation?"

Her face shows annoyed defiance, but it slowly gives way to regret as all eyes turn to her. Thomas tenses, but doesn't interfere yet, waiting to see what happens. Regina and the others are focused on other parts of the dinner preparations.
