Who am I, that the morning star would light the way for my wandering heart?
Quick indeed, and the tides turned a bit too swiftly for Seren's taste. One moment she stood there, laughing at the wild chase and in the next she was turning and sprinting off along the terrace herself, with a dragon-and-Lena-train steaming straight towards her. Literally steaming, as Umbra couldn't quite stifle his enthusiasm and kept puffing sulfurious clouds of smoke from the nostrils.
With Lena in tow, there would be no aerial maneuvering, but that helped little. As their chain grew longer, it was harder for herself to completely avoid the others in the enclosed space. Seren took to zig-zagging across the yard and relied on nimble changes of direction to avoid the pursuit. Once, twice she had a close call and just barely slipped out of reach. But her luck could not last, and by the third attempt, she found herself backed into a corner. There was glee in Umbra's warbling cry as he booped her firmly on the shoulder, and she huffed a winded laugh at the sheer enjoyment he radiated.
"Alright, that leaves... the wyrms." Holding out an arm to link with Lena, Seren gave the shimmering cloud-puffs in the sky a dubious look. "How in the stars are we to reach them?"
