Seren
He was always welcome to ask. Seren had few secrets, and none that was her own. Even when the question was difficult to answer, she did her best.
"Hmm... What is it like being Mer?" she countered, with a cheeky glimmer of laughter in her eyes. Then she plucked a particular stone from her arc, let the rest fall and made it float in the air with a touch of gravity. "I suppose... it might be similar to being born the child of any powerful parent, in many ways. Everyone knows who you are. There are no secrets. There's eyes on what you do, and how you do them, and even when no one seems to have expectations for you, they do."
Tapping the stone with a finger, she sent it drifting towards Hadama. It spun lightly, like a miniature moon suspended in space.
"And... The hardest part is probably that I will never be able to be my own person. I am a Taliesin. I am Ronin's daughter, or Safrin's daughter. The starchild, a demigod - I am never going to be 'just Seren'. Even if I never accomplish anything in life, my name is still written in history for all to know, and see, and judge. And I never once had a choice about it."
Settling her hands into her lap, she cocked her head aside, curious about how Hadama would respond.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
