I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Delta. That was a familiar name. "I think we have met the same mermaid, then," Seren replied with a look of delight. "I was still little at the time. The Leafchange before last..? I was with father by the docks when she appeared." It had been the day of her life, worshipper of mermaids and pirates as she were. "Isn't it unusual for a Torcher to be unable to swim? I can teach you, if you want."
As for gathering seashells... "Sure. Whoever finds more in an hour wins," she suggested; making a contest was sure to get the girl motivated. Adjusting her own shawl against the playful wind, Seren began to drag her feet through the sand as she kept on walking. Driftwood and pebbles rose to the surface in her wake, along with the occasional seashell. Black ones would be hard to find, but she was not opposed to a challenge.
At Maeve's offer for a room however, she threw her head back and laughed brightly. "That's very generous, Maeve. I can't wait to tell father I have my very own room at your brothel." What kind of expression would he make? Would he be proud of her? Honestly, at this point the bar had probably dropped fairly low... maybe anything would be fine as long as she kept in touch.
