Seren
The girl nodded sagely, agreeing with every word. "Well, I think that bit is silly. How about just talking about things? It's not as if most of it is terrible and secret. Bodily functions, and customs, and arbitrary rules that no one seems to question. Though... I have to admit that some people I've talked to have been very supporting. Maybe because they see me as a child. They were all saing things like 'take your time', and 'it's alright not to understand', or 'you'll figure it out in time'." She snorted, clearly not satisfied.
Sah's laments over his changed physique was music to her ears, in a way. It meant he was not about to squish her without having to work for it. Seren's grin became a bit more toothy, mischief coming alive in her eyes, and the stolen glances this time were far more assessing. Concerned with his height, and stature, and whether the lean physique projected more muscle or speed.
But she faltered when he went on, mouth falling open in astonished disbelief.
"You bit a god?" she repeated, incredulous. "And you're still alive. Your gods must have been very lenient. I can't see anyone doing that to any of ours... not without dire consequences." Seren tried to imagine anyone getting away with that kind of disrespect. Maybe Frey..? But no. She shuddered faintly at the mere idea.
"You should probably avoid that," the girl suggested, inching closer to nudge an elbow at Sah. Teasing, as if he might actually be mad enough to try. "Both with gods and demigods. Especially if you come across my father, Ronin. Or Remi, his husband. They could probably kill someone by accident."
