Oh, empty my heart
Laughing at his surprise, the girl nodded and offered him a sly wink. "I have many tricks up my sleeve," she reminded him. "This might be one of the more useful."
Casting a glance up towards the sky, Seren found it clear and darkening swiftly. A few stars had come out even though the sun was not yet completely set, and it was towards them that she turned her eyes. "Come forth," she whispered, the words barely a whisper as they passed her lips. A pointless cantrip, a little extra flair to make it easier.
The words sent a star tumbling down from the sky, straight towards them. It broke without a sound, without a sensation upon their joined hands, fragmented into glittering shards of starlight. No, not shards - butterflies. Blue of wing and lit from within, the swallowtails fluttered out across the meadow. For Lilly to chase and catch, perhaps, or merely to illuminate the scene, here beyond the reach of the party lights.
Only one butterfly remained, and as it settled on Sah's fingertip, the dust shed from its wings instantly had an affect on his bitten finger. Pain drained away, scabs fell off and the deeper tissue began to knit together. Soon, a faint ring of scarred skin was all that remained, likely to fade away as well with time.
Seren supervised with focused attention, and only when her summon took off to flutter after the others did she look up, rather pleased with herself. "There you go. All better."
"A lecture? No," the girl said, thoughtful as she regarded him. "If you ever become so enamored with your own power that you won't see yourself or your people clearly... I think I will just take your throne from you." Tilting her head to the side, Seren smiled - not quite joking this time.
She made a move to let go of his hand.

I've got to make room for this feeling
