Seren
Turning away from the conversation she had been listening to without any hesitation, Seren accepted the glass and hugged her father right back. "It is the trouble with most family gatherings, I hear," she laughed, "and that is without the dead stopping by." He needn't feel guilty about a thing; she would wait for him for as long as it took, as she had come here to see him above all others.
"I am! Being back on this side even for a visit feels wonderful - Remi truly outdid himself this time." Slinging an arm comfortably around his back, she rested her raven head upon his shoulder. "It is good to see you, as well. How are you holding up?" Her tone was warm, and the blue of her eyes held a depth that turned the simple question multifaceted; going beyond tonight, past the difficulties of the season to the core of his being. It had been a long ten years, after all, of trials and tribulations, love and loss and so many new beginnings as most people only saw in a lifetime. If he was tired, she would not be surprised. But Seren hoped that he still had some curiosity lingering, enough of a spark burning to keep him looking forward, for at least another ten years - and more, if he so wished.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
