It felt like it had been forever, since everyone was in the same room; knowing many had been away to college, or of doing their own thing elsewhere. So she knew that tensions were about to be high; she didn't think it would have escalated that quickly though. Hopefully, the rest of the day would be tamer. Or she could hope. That was until Carlisle suggested a party. The perfect time for things to kick off again, if someone got on someone's wrong side. Aurora was sure, there'd were multiple people besides Serena, that'd lash out in that situation. It was just a matter of everyone keeping their cool and not pissing anyone off. Given what had happened that morning, she was worried for a good reason. But hopefully if everyone remained chill, it'd be a good chance to get to know the newcomers. With the last of her coffee in her travel mug, Aurora headed out to the woods with Carlisle and the others that had volunteered to check up on the barrier. It didn't take them long to reach the barrier. Like everyone else, Aurora examined the messy barrier in front of them. Seeing the change in hues of the blue's in the barrier. It had been loosely fixed in the night. But it seemed like it wasn't holding up all that well. Taking note of the claws against the barrier. Something had been determined in trying to get through. But what? To any outsider, or someone whom didn't know Carlisle well, would think he was rambling like a crazy man. But she on the other hand was concerned. Something was bothering him. And it clearly wasn't the pressures of being the potential new coven leader, or what happened earlier at the coven house. Was it something to do with Lili? Aurora saw how the boy looked at Lilith. It wasn't that hard to miss, if someone could see the signs. But apparently her friend seemed oblivious to how Carlisle was always looking at her. Then there was Carlisle dropping out of college. Something that Aurora knew; but she kept a secret. College wasn't for everyone. Her brows furrowed, as she saw how the barrier seemed to flicker with his emotions. Yep, something was wrong with him for sure. But what? [Color=Crimson] "Are you sure, you're okay?" [/Color] Aurora questioned as he assured everyone, that he had it. But she didn't seem all too convinced. Not needing to be an Abjurer, to read people. Experience and being older, allowed her to tell if something was bothering someone. [Color=Crimson] "You know, if you need someone to chat to, I am here." [/Color] Offering him a listening ear, if he needed to vent to someone. Aurora was a good listener. And liked to offer advice and helpful hand, whenever she could. Not that he had to take her up on that offer, if he wasn't ready to. But it was still there; if he needed to talk to someone that wasn't Lilith or Miles. Knowing he was closer to the two, than herself. Hanging back for a few moments, as she wanted to assure him of something. [Color=Crimson] "I know you think, that people don't get you. Or understand the pressure you're under; but it's not true." [/Color] She understood it all too well. And not many people knew that; including himself. As she never really bothered anyone with her own family issues. The coven had enough to deal with, as a whole. They didn't need to deal with her parents perfectionist views too. [Color=Crimson] "I know my family isn't one of the major 3 in Tanner. But my parents are major perfectionists. But I know, what it's like to live under pressure. When I was younger; they expected my big brother to be the best. To perfect whatever magic that found him. Not to be weak. But sadly, that pressure is now all on me and has been since he died." [/Color] Aurora admitted. It annoyed her, that people could put so much pressure on someone; especially their own children. [Color=Crimson] "So I know what you're going through, if just a little bit. No one's perfect; I know it's frustrating, when everyone expects you to be though. I have to deal with that expectation too. But I also know you're more capable than you give yourself credit for." [/Color] Knowing he wasn't a bad Warlock. He just needed to believe in himself more. Probably being one of the few people, that gave him some credit for his abilities. He was still young. But more experience and confident would come with time. He wasn't alone, in this. Not like he thought he was. Aurora was sure, that other people also knew what he was going through, like she was.
