She wasn't crying. She was not crying! Even though she should be weeping, to have such a friend. When had that happened? Had she done anything to earn this kind of loyalty? Stars above, let her never disappoint the faith this boy had in her goodness. Even if it wasn't true, even if there was darkness and shadow aplenty within her, she could be good for him. Would be.
Pressing her cheek into Sah's palm, Seren breathed in shakily and tried to carve those words into her chest and mind. He won't let her. "That shouldn't be so reassuring to hear," she mumbled, "but it is. Please let me know if anything I ask of you ever come close? I'd like to promise I won't ever ask for your help with the difficult things, but... I'm not sure I could keep it. Having you around is too reassuring." An awkward thing to say, framed by a shy smile... but true. So very true.
Friendships aside, Sah was also growing rather powerful. It would be all too easy to begin relying on that strength more than she should.
