Seren
Sky blue eyes blinked at Sah, crinkling at the corners as the young woman laughed lightly. "I like blue too. When I was little, I was completely adamant that my dragon had to be blue. Mother even sent me on a quest to ensure that's what I would find. But, you know... I like most things. I don't know if I have a color I actually dislike." Everything had its own beauty, every color their place, and if she had a penchant for one thing over something else it was difficult to see what it might be. But... perhaps it was blue. Sky blue, midnight blue, the blue when dusk settled in and a child could snuggle up in her bed, to read bedtime stories with a father and gaze at the stars when they slowly kindled in the sky.
He went on to tell her about his magic and how it was discovered. Seren listened with rapt attention, laughing at the mental image of Sah being chased over a field by a flag, while a bewildered faceless crowd looked on in astonishment. "That's not so bad," she decided. "I nearly scared my father until his hair fell out when I first came to stay with him. He didn't know about any of my gifts, and I climbed up onto a really high fence and jumped straight out. You should have seen the look on his face when I didn't actually fall, but floated." Impish mischief glittered in her gaze at the memory; at the time Seren had no understanding of the panic she must have caused in Ronin, but in hindsight... It still made her chuckle.
"I still like high places," she added, gazing up at the surrounding trees. Chewing lightly on the bark, she tried to see if there was an easy path to scale any of them - not that she actually needed branches.
Without even realizing it, Seren fell right back into the sharing, and forgot to ask questions of her own. It was much more interesting to hear what Sah chose to share - her topics weren't all that interesting.
