“If you were able to finesse a move like that, then I guess it’s a good thing?” Aurora’s voice inflected into a question towards the end, a quiet chuckle passing afterward. “But, you should definitely be careful. I get having a phone after being here is exciting but that fall could’ve ended a lot worse.” Doctor side coming out, she sighed. “Just, uh, don’t walk while on your phone, yeah?”

“My mother used to joke that I was allergic to the sun. Whenever we moved to the states, I’d burn and turn into a lobster; my skin slowly got used to it, though. But the sun still makes me sneeze.” Aurora really had no idea what caused her to sneeze as soon as she stepped outside from a dark room, but she had grown accustomed to it at this point.  “You know, I should probably do that. I’m so picky with my coffee, it’s turned into a nuisance.” The brunette chuckled, teeth tugging on her lower lip. “I’m good... organizing things is way too tedious, and it always causes me to get a headache. Once I eat, I should be good as new.” The words spilled out of her mouth, one of those rehearsed lines that she has said probably one too many times in her life.

Offering her colleague, would you call it, a soft smile Aurora’s arms comfortable crossed over her chest. “Trying to sneeze... sometimes I think the sun hates me.” The brunette attempted to joke, knowing that it’d probably fall flat. Organizing things at the infirmary had never been her favorite thing, but that was all she had done today, and she could feel the headache setting in.  “How's the coffee?” She inquires, trying to at least make some small talk as her hands came to rub at her face, trying to fight off said headache.

At the sight of her captain, Aurora relaxes a bit. “I’m fine.” Eyes rolled at his remark with a small smile quirking up at her lips. Honey hues ultimately landed on the cigarette, her head shaking. “Don’t come to me crying, though, when you wake up at one in the morning from a coughing fit. Smoking’s terrible for you.” Aurora had given Alec this exact speech a number of times, the brunette having seen the effects that smoking can have on a person.  Aurora slowly slipped back into her normal appearance, an eyebrow raised at Alec. “How’s life been treating you?” She realized she hadn’t really talked to her captain as much as she should, and she figured now would be a hell of a time to change that.

Walking out of the infirmary, Aurora felt that all too familiar feeling of a sneeze brewing. Letting out a muffled curse, she pushed her sunglasses - which she had just put on - up, letting them sit upon her head as she looked up at the sun. “Come on,” The brunette mumbled, eyebrows furrowing together.  The sneeze wasn’t going to come, and that caused Aurora to let out a huff, turning on her heels to head back into the direction where she was originally going, well, until her eyes met with another. Face falling into her normal stoic expression, Aurora cleared her throat.  “Hi, can I help you?” Was this her attempt to hide the embarrassment that was swirling deep in her stomach? Absolutely, and all Aurora could do was hope they didn’t catch on.
