You have so much of everything but still you wanted more
Umbra halted to assess the seriousness behind Seren's threat and Flora's courage. Finding no sympathy anywhere, he let out a suffering sigh and took off, spreading dust and leaving an acrid scent of smoke behind in a parting gift.
Coughing and waving the fumes out of her nose, Seren shook her head. "Sorry about him. Ever since mother told him to look after me, he's been a complete menace and takes it far too seriously." A peevish yet fond look followed the shrinking silhouette of her friend as he winged his way out to sea.
Digging into a pocket in her loose, flowing trousers, she uncovered a seed pod with a smile. "Yes. Father mentioned it in a letter, so I went to have a look." She considered the little hole Flora had dug, and the giant tree. "I might plant this one a bit further away... Was this what you wanted to talk about?" Not that she minded; being called on at all was delightful, it didn't have to be serious.
