I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
There was no blame to be put on anyone. That Locke and Maeve wanted to be together was a beautiful thing, and if that meant Seren got to see a bit less of them... she could accept it. And like her friend said, it wasn't as though they would never see each other again. Leaning into the touch of her hair and cheek, Seren smiled and nodded; the reassurances helped, even if they also made her feel a little silly. Like a child needing comfort, when she should be grown and... oh, but who was she kidding. "I would love that, yes. And Locke said he wanted me for a sister... don't let him forget that, please?" It shouldn't mean much. It had only been words, and jest, and yet it did matter.
Breathing in the salty sea air, Seren blinked and gazed around. The sky was clear, the sun bright and the waves gentle as they lapped against the shore. The day was beautiful; it was hard to stay sad in a place like this. Especially when she was teased; clearing her throat, she tucked a coil of dark hair behind an ear. "Ah, eh... a hunter, from Halo. I did a stupid thing, and he... rescued me. Saved my life, actually." The awe she felt over that reflected in sky-blue eyes as she looked over to meet Maeve's gaze. "It's not that I'm in a hurry to be kissed, you know? It's more... oh, I don't even know."
Confused, she plopped down into the sand right where she were. Sifted it through her fingers, and struggled to find the words. "Maybe I'm just overly romantic. But wouldn't it be lovely, if such an event sparked something? A fated encounter, the beginning of a story - " Making a floating gesture with a hand, she rolled her eyes at herself and laughed, as if to disparage the whole notion.
