If you're caught in the shadow then turn around
If you hear my voice, follow the sound
'Cause I'm here to guide you home
If you hear my voice, follow the sound
'Cause I'm here to guide you home
Thinking back to her encounter with Aurelia after the fire, Seren tried to recall if there had been any signs of injury. Deimos' question implied that there ought to have been doubts about the woman's survival, but at least there Seren could answer definitively.
"Yes, she seemed perfectly fine when I talked to her. Regretful about how far she had gone, willing to try and reason if there was a chance... but also very determined to solve her case." It was as much of a warning as she could offer the Sword; this was not over yet. There had been threads to pull, and yanked they were; it was likely no more than a question of time before more consequences started to roll in.
Finally letting out a quiet sigh, Seren pushed herself up to stand. She brushed sand from her clothes, and padded over to Deimos on quiet feet, a soft shadow easing into his space so that she could reach a hand up to his shoulder. Should he allow it, and not recoil.
"I see. Well. If you ever need anything, or if you find something else you want to do, I'd be more than happy to help in whatever way I can," she offered, trying for a smile again. There were other paths to take besides a rulers council, if he wanted to lead troops. Guilds, mercenary bands and monster hunting were only a few ideas she might offer, adventures and treasure hunts aside. Or he had the option to try and rebuild, regain his reputation and build new foundations of trust with his Warden - if he wanted to. "If nothing else, I can listen if you want to vent."
