Oh, empty my heart
It could have been devastating. What might have been a powerful combination of charming smiles and gentle treatment to overwhelm any fair maiden's heart had its effect lessened somewhat by the agony she was in. Whether that was for better or worse was not for her to say; either way, a slight blush crept up on freckled cheeks as Seren returned the smile.
"Thought there was something familiar about your voice," she murmured, both delighted and a little bashful to find her hand caught in his. "I'm Seren. Nice to meet you, properly." Squeezing his fingers in return, she wondered quietly if it was common to feel so awkward when receiving aid, or if a rock had hit her head, too. Her stomach felt decidedly fluttery any time she met the clear blue of Harper's gaze.
Sitting up a bit straighter, Seren bit her lip and tried to find a way of sitting that did not agitate the arm. "How are you going to..?" she asked, more worried than she wanted to be about what was to come. The shoulder felt worse and worse with every moment, and the mere idea of having it touched had sweat beading at her back.

I've got to make room for this feeling
