Oh, empty my heart
"Not exactly refusing. It's more that he claims not to be one, but I think he is hiding something," she replied, with a soft grin. "If I get proof, I can catch him in the act and he won't be able to deny it anymore." It was a game of sneak that had been ongoing since she was little - which was not that long ago, as Harper rightly noticed.
But playing with shifts and magic was far more interesting than explaining the intricacies of her age, and so Seren left the matter to the man's imagination for the time being. She busied herself with studying his crow plumage, until he pulled away and returned to his original form. A mischievous grin and a shrug was her reply to the admiration. "I haven't really tested the limits," Seren admitted. "Not too far, yet. And it's not so much flying as a very slow jump. I always fall back down again eventually." Case in point; she was already drifting back down towards the sand, until another light tap of the foot sent her drifting upwards once more. "It is more... like being under water? Not weightless, merely lighter."

There was an openness to his ready smiles that pulled her in; like they were speaking the same language. "Do you have other shifts? Have you had this one long?" Her curiosity was a living thing, alive and well and not at all daunted by these strange circumstances.

I've got to make room for this feeling
