Seren
The sound of approaching footsteps from beyond set her heart racing. Palms that had been feeling cold turned clammy in an instant, but Seren hid them away behind her back and put on her best smile as the door flung open. It wobbled a touch, mouth faltering at the blank, wary expression on his face.
It was a far cry from the cautiously cheerful man she remembered.
"Hello Nate. It's me, Seren. I... suppose you wouldn't recognize me right away." Laughing, quick and breathless, she pushed on. Rattling on, like she always had - to get the words out before they escaped her, before she forgot why she had come. "I'm glad to see you, and that you are home, because there are some things I wanted to talk to you about. Is... is this a... good time?"
Faltering under his stare, Seren's voice trailed off.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
