And I hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay
Spinning around to see who was talking, Seren broke out in another whoop of delight. "Locke! Hi!" Bursting out of the puddle, she all but leaped at Locke with arms outstretched, and would probably tackle him to the ground if he wasn't prepared. Soaking wet, water sloshing from her drenched clothes and hair and - who even cared, it was raining anyway.
"I missed you! Thank you so much for the letter. The tea was delicious, and I meant to reply right away but then something happened and I got distracted. Then I talked to Mother and finished up something, and I thought I'd come surprise you in Torchline. But you're here. How are you?"
It was a deluge of words, drowning out and completely ignoring his smart-ass comments about colds. Only at the end did she remember the mention of her dragon, and Seren nodded vigorously.
"Yeah! His name is Umbra. Have you seen how big he is? It's only been a season, but look at him."
Gesturing towards the blue reptile as Umbra came crawling out of the puddle, Seren was quite right. The dragon's withers almost reached the middle of her thighs by now, with a wingspan that exceeded Seren's entire height. Still on the scrawny side, half-grown as he was, there was still a lot of dragon to behold.
