every bait and switch was a work of art
'The only way to know, is to know my love. And to know who you are first before letting someone else try and hold your heart." With a small laugh, Safrin can only beam down at her child. "Those you are thinking of? I will tell you a secret: they were idiots and caused chaos long before love took hold of them."
Seren seemed to be full of argument today, and though Safrin continued to hold her close, the goddess's exhale spoke brightly of her dwindling patience. "That was a task given to Deimos. Had he not been so impulsive, perhaps you might have suggested the mageglass to him as a way of encouraging the people of Halo." The goddess stiffens that Seren might heed her words. "You cannot complete Deimos' task for him. All of your assistance will not change what he has done." She replies, before her expression darkens to her Seren speak so of Ronin.
Only for the world around the star-child to blacken and twist with her mother's anger.
"Careful now, Seren." Safrin cautions as cosmic ice begins to form on the grasses of the mound. Her voice is low and calm, though make no mistake of the danger that lingers beneath her familiar tone. "The bond between parent and child is not equal in both directions." Not between Seren and Ronin, and certainly not between mother and daughter.
"Have you been treated like a child? You were given a task that no one else was. Did I give you a step-by-step list on how to complete it as if you were incapable? Or have I left you to your own devices? Devices that have led you in other directions. For all of Deimos's failings, at least he took seriously my demands of him. But here you stand talking of mageglass and libraries." Safrin's jaw sets as she folds her arms over her chest. "You haven't been treated like a child Seren, but you're certainly acting like one. If you want to focus on your mageglass and this trek with Amalia, so be it. I can find someone else to assist with the sea of glass."
