Oh, empty my heart
She couldn't help the giggle that slipped from her, at the image of Sah trying and failing to explain their first encounter - all while her father's expression grew gradually more confused.
"I think you're fine," she tried to reassure, still chuckling as she poured the drink into his mug. "If dad starts murdering my friends, I'm going to have to talk to him... I have no idea what this drink is by the way, so be careful." She didn't think they would serve anything alcoholic where children could reach, but then again...
Looking up, Seren's gaze caught on the somber expression on Sah's face. It still surprised her how easily he extended his support. Even knowing he was not as strong as he had been - knowing too how dangerous it might be to become too tangled up in her troubles.
"Thank you, Sah," she murmured, color rising unbidden on her cheeks from the prolonged eyecontact. "That means a lot." Gaze darting away, she fumbled with bottle and mug and only barely managed not to spill everything over herself before it was safely deposited on the rock again. Taking a sip from her own cup, she found the beverage tart and sweet with the taste of berries, yet sparkling on the tongue. If there was something stronger in it, she could not detect it.
"What, eh... how did your packs work, back in your home?" she asked, fumbling for some other topic that might be less heavy. "Was everyone related, like our families?" Wolf customs felt like a safe thing. Distant, at least for her.

I've got to make room for this feeling
