Oh, empty my heart
The crunch of boots over snow reverberated through her whole head, so much that Seren gritted her teeth. Looking up as she was addressed, she found a ray of sunlight standing before her. Golden, dazzling, so vibrant that the white-dusted town seemed even more drab and washed out in comparison. Seren smiled in what she hoped was a reassuring way, though her expression was drawn and there were dark shadows under her eyes.
"Yes, thank you. I just... I hit my head a few days ago. Seems I'm not as recovered as I thought." Even saying that, she still tried to get back up on her feet. Sitting down when she should be working felt wrong. Sitting, when this vision of health and vigor stood before her appeared close to blasphemy. She was perhaps not as steady on her feet as she would have liked, and swayed a little where she stood. But stand she did, and reached for the shovel, with every intention of getting back to work.
Even if it was a task given by none but herself, she still would see it done.

I've got to make room for this feeling
