Oh, empty my heart
A familiar face waving past in the milling crowd had Seren's eyes go wide. When she was able to detangle herself from fathers, siblings and uncles, she strayed off along the laden tables in search for Sah.
It was impossible to move at more than a leisurely pace. Everyone around her seemed set on filling their bellies with food and drink. Having become entangled in a winding queue, she emerged slightly flushed with a plate full of sweets in one hand and a large bottle of something slightly sour and sparkly in the other - more food than she could possibly eat on her own.
There was a strong urge to hover up into the air and spy around for the young wolf... but the idea of the many eyed crowd staring at her from below put her off the idea straight away.
Biting her lip, she withdrew to the outskirts of the party area and found a spot where large boulders jutted out of the flowery meadow. Seating herself on one of them, she set the burdens down and kicked off the shoes with a soft groan of relief; sinking her toes into dewey grass was always the best feeling.

I've got to make room for this feeling
