SEREN
For every tyrant, a tear for the vulnerable
In every lost soul, the bones of a miracle

The young demigoddess bowed her head, but didn't offer anything in regards to the Ascended, or the Voice. Her own thoughts on the matter were too confused to voice, contradictory and - in her own mind - rather cruel. But this was not about them, or the Voice, or even her. It was about Locke and Maeve and a baby on the way, and it seemed that her retelling of the events gave her friend some clue as to what might be up with the man they both cared so deeply for.
Then Maeve had other news, and Seren blinked slowly upon hearing what it was about. It took a moment before her mind connected the dots, but when they did her eyes went wide with surprised delight.
"Maeve," she breathed, "that's... I don't even know what to say. Congratulations? Condolances?" Laughter pulled at her mouth, and she couldn't help but to nudge her friend playfully. Governor? The image was so intrinsically tied to Remi and Sunjata in her mind that this diminutive woman barely managed to fill the spot. Perhaps that was why there were two of them. "Aurelia, huh. I'm... not sure we get along, if I'm honest. Do you know her well?"
She sighed faintly, thinking back on the burning Slagveld, the dead unicorn, the heated conversation they'd had when Seren stumbled into the woman on the street. "Something similar has happened in Halo," she murmured. "Hotaru Kaito and Noah Olson are Wardens now... do you think that will be trouble?"
The regions used to be allies. What would happen to that now? Would these hot-headed, fierce women carry on their feuds across borders, now with soldiers at their beck and call? Hotaru had claimed that she could separate politics from her own personal matters... but Seren still felt a cold lump in her gut. Had she made a mistake in aiding the woman...?
