Oh, empty my heart
Not simply rumors, as it turned out. Cocking her head as she listened, Seren found herself brimming with questions herself. "Really? Where was that, what did you work on?" she asked, having no qualms about being nosy. "And what kind of things do you call 'monsters'? Dad's in Stombreak, we live there. If..." Biting her lip, the girl looked away, then down at her feet. "If you're sending a letter, do you think you could.. you know, mention that you saw me? That I'm alright? He doesn't know I'm here..."

Feeling more than a little guilty, she hacked away at the snow with more fervor. Aisha's method to clearing the trail seemed a lot more efficient than what Seren had been doing. After sneaking a few glances, she began to repeat the motions. Staking. Sifting. Shoveling away. Snow was a curious substance, really. Solid as rock, pebbly as gravel, fine as sand and yet all water. "What we really need here is a few dragons," she muttered under breath.

I've got to make room for this feeling
