eyes can't shine unless there's something burning bright behind
Aurelia let him have the last word about his feet with a chuckle. Well, for now anyway. She hadn't been paying close attention to Jack as she focused on her own target. Yet, out of the corner of her eye, she viewed him from her peripheral. Were his eyes closed? Was that just her? Oh well, she had manta to catch. So her attentions were focused back on her assigned quarry.
When she made her catch obvious to Jack, catching his attention, she noticed him blinking his eyes. His approval was appreciated though, bringing a smile to her face. At least she got it right the first time, in spite of her newness to this. He was in the midst of further instructing her when something happened. Blinking in surprise, smile turning into a frown, Aurelia watched as a cloud manta smacked his face and he flopped back into the water. His own net had gotten him all tangled up.
Aurelia broke out into laughter, grinning. She waded over to him, feeling the ground beneath her feet carefully. Once by his side, she attempted to untangle him from the netting, holding the gear and the slain manta in one hand, (though he might've been putting up his own struggle, which would make it difficult). "What a good example you set, Jack!" she teased, smirking, "If you're gonna hunt with your eyes closed, you might as well use your feet, too. I mean, fuck it, right?"
"You know, I've been meaning to talk to you about something..." She added on a more serious note, at least once he was free of his net. Hunting the cloud manta wasn't turning out too difficult... on her part, anyways... so she figured it was a good time to bring up what she needed to tell him.
