Especially when Sah's fingers hit upon a particularly hard to reach spot that itched; Umbra rumbled and turned his head aside so it could be reached better and budged his nose at the hunter's hand, demanding more.
Biting her lips so as not to smile at her dragon in the midst of this very serious conversation with Sah, Seren was relieved to feel the tension bleed from her friend. Not only because she was happy to have helped, but because his worry and tension made her feel... small. Helpless. It was much better when he was laughing and teasing.

Multitudes versus only one, and yet the weight of them were about equal in that moment, to the hands that gave them shape.
Should... So why was it so difficult to lift her head and straighten up? Mostly, Seren wanted to curl up in the grass with boys and dragons and wolves, and just watch the stars until she fell asleep. It was a silly impulse.
