I saw a piece of heaven
Blinking in surprise as the joint was tucked away, Seren couldn't say what it was that made the woman suddenly change her mind. Surely not her convincing rhetoric, because there had been very little of that. But gone it was, and soon the smoke had cleared too, and the girl was running out of reasons to leave. So when Maeve not only introduced herself but asked for company, Seren complied and lowered herself into the grass a healthy distance away from the woman. Out of arms reach - it seemed safer. Why? She had no idea.
"Thank you. My mother named me," she murmured, and set the shoes down behind her. Out of sight, out of mind. Tucking a lock of curly hair behind an ear, she cast about for something else to add. Her gaze fell on Maeve's hands; the bashfulness was immediately replaced with concern. "Are you alright? Did something happen to your hands?" Not for the first time Seren wished she was able to heal. It didn't seem right, that a kind, beautiful individual should carry wounds like that.

Waiting, impatient, for me
