Oh, empty my heart
A little sweat would never keep her from hugging him, and her little shrug suggested as much. Her first night in Caido had been spent in the grime of a boxing ring; if that didn't jade a person against odors she didn't know what would.
Poking out her tongue at him, she rolled her eyes playfully. "I am noble by nature, what can I say. And my family is full of heroes."
Returning to the table and reclaiming her seat, Seren took one of the mugs and folded her hands around it, savoring the warmth that reminded her that the Leafchange air would demand more clothing than the flimsy dress she currently wore. Such mundane thoughts seemed very far from the important topic of the orb, and yet they intruded on her none the less. It was not to fight she had come back, ultimately; just to live.
"I don't mind," she replied. "For now I am keeping it on my Island - if I may suggest, perhaps it's best if only you and I know about that for now. And Remi, of course." Braving a sip of tea, the hot liquid made her tongue prickle whilst spreading a soothing flavor through her mouth. Grounding, bracing; bolstering her enough to bring something up that had been on her mind for a long time.
"Remember that fight we had, back in Stormbreak?" Blue eyes searched her father's face, rather sure he wouldn't have forgotten their first real row. "I got upset because I felt run over. Do you think we could... talk about things, before doing something this time? I know I have much to learn... if it's possible, I would like to actually learn how to properly do things. As a demigod. As someone people look to for answers."
Even if she was here for her own sake, Seren still felt the weight of being what she was. Not a burden, but a responsibility, an image to live up to.

I've got to make room for this feeling
