every bait and switch was a work of art
"Choose those you bring along carefully my bright star. There might be more waiting for you beneath the ice than you think." Offering her daughter a wink and nothing more, she would let Seren plan this adventure as she saw fit.
'Oh?' Tilting her head, Safrin offers her daughter her undivided attention. Nodding along and offering conversational mmms at the appropriate pauses, eventually, the goddess purses her lips thoughtfully before speaking. "It is a very natural if not entirely mortal reaction. To want to hurt others when you've been hurt. To crave things being the same, even if that means accepting that they're bad or wrong." Sweetly, Safrin frowns. "I can only hope that you're able to learn from the actions of others, without having to experience it for yourself." Looking toward Umbra, the goddess reaches out a finger. "It is Hotaru's fault that her companion died. And he died alone. Aurelia nearly died as well, though she had absolutely no part to play in any of this. Deimos has lost his title and is banned from Torchline...all over a hurt heart."
Turning back toward Seren, Safrin reaches down to cup her daughter's face in her hands. "Stay naive, if that is what keeps you bright." As for reckless? "No my love. But you are still young. You too will make mistakes, but never let yourself believe that you're responsible for the mistakes or actions of others."
