Oh, empty my heart
"Really?" It was tempting to lean in further as Sah explained about his encounter, but the slight motion forward almost had Seren toppling off the rock. So she settled for nibbling a cookie with focused intensity instead. "And did you answer?" Her grin turned a little teasing. "You do seem to like talking about yourself." Sah really had no business telling anyone else to guard their secrets. Not that she minded of course, it was just a little ironic.
A finger traced invisible symbols in the air as Seren processed the notion of these runes. The idea of inscribing magic for later use was interesting indeed, though not something she had seen before.
"Most of the magic here in Caido is applied directly by the caster, or tied to items," she mused.
"It could be quite useful if you were able to, say... bind your own magic into something and have it trigger when used. A book that zapped you when opened, or..." Gesturing vaguely, she offered for Sah to keep on with the thread if the notion appealed. "Like laying a trap," she clarified. It would be a clever application, if it worked as intended.
Reaching down so Lilly could lick her fingers clean, Seren looked up when Sah's tone changed. The relaxation was good, and she listened with widening eyes as he explained the sudden inclusion into family. The kind neighbor she remembered, though the sparring partner was new.
"That's... very kind of them," she said slowly, still processing. She could only imagine Sah's confusion. "Seems a little out of the blue, but... are you alright with that?" It was her turn to study her friend, searching his gaze and posture for anything that might suggest discomfort with the idea. Something dark and slightly oily slithered through her stomach at the mention of this sparring daughter bringing him home for dinner - Seren promptly downed another sugary treat. She must be hungrier than she thought.

I've got to make room for this feeling
