Aurora couldn't help the eyeroll that came as Pietro began poking fun at Shiro's codename. The boys seemed insistent on keeping up the snarkfest at each other. She was swiftly becoming bored with it. "Boys, please. No need for name calling or anything of that ilk. Just play nice." She glanced at both of them, her eyes catching a less than split second wink from Pietro. She tilted her head and lifted a brow at him, a smug look on her face. Aurora stared at him for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled under her breath. So, it seemed Mr. Twitchy wasn't just twitching.
Her gaze turned to Shiro as he commented on the mutant/human relations conversation they'd struck up. "Mutants react just as erratically as humans, I think. It's just more fear on their end than anything else. We're something they can't understand. Up until our mutations present themselves, we're as human as they are. They react out of fear. We react out of something resembling condescension. Neither side is perfect. We just have to find a common ground." Aurora smiled hopefully. "Maybe this whole thing, showing mutants just as susceptible to something that was eradicating humans... Maybe it'll lead to something like understanding." She shrugged, putting back about half of her drink. "It probably won't, but who knows? Maybe I'm just optimistic."
