Oh, empty my heart
Was that a compliment? Was she being praised, or criticized? Perhaps both. Seren made a silent vow to herself to pay more attention at the people around her and their abilities, limits and strengths. Perhaps only looking at the stars would make her stumble on pebbles, otherwise. "I'm sure you will be able to do similar things too, soon," she offered, full of a completely baseless confidence in her friend. Of course he was brilliant and talented enough to close any gaps between them; it was only a matter of time. Surely.
As the speed increased of their tumble about the meadow, Seren found out that if she stayed still while Sah moved, they began to drift in his direction. And the same was true in reverse. As they inevitably descended towards the ground, she put down a foot and kicked off harder than before; this time the ascent was faster and they rose higher, until a ten foot drop separated them from the ground.
Seren didn't care in the slightest. "I wish we could go higher!" she laughed, leaning back as the wind whipped about her face. Midnight locks flared out and as she looked up, the stars overhead became a shimmering blur before her eyes. Only Sah was real and solid as they spun out across the meadow. His hand in hers; an anchor in a sea of stars.

I've got to make room for this feeling
