You have so much of everything but still you wanted more
The thought was appreciated of course, but as he went on to explain, Seren realized that she understood the complexity of the situation perhaps a little better than he knew. Breathing in slowly, tasting the acrid aftertaste of soot on her tongue, the girl nodded slowly.
"I... see," she replied. Tentative, not sure how much to say. Joy over Hotaru's children being born safely was carefully swallowed out of respect for her father's situation. "I... I knew about that. Have known, for a while now. I'm sorry; I didn't know if I should say anything or not." Whether it would be better to know or not - hoping desperately for someone else to deliver that kind of news. It seemed someone had - and it did not make her feel one bit better about it.
"The shift... what is it? Is there - can I help you, somehow?" Teething problems sounded like a predator of some kind. Fitting, yet not at the same time.
Snowflakes melted reluctantly on her cheeks, and the moisture added another kind of bite to her cheeks in the intense cold. Shaking snow from the hair, Seren reached up with her free hand and pulled the hood up. Conveniently, it hid her face from view as well.
"Mhm, I might, if I find somewhere else to be. It's not that I hate the place either. Just... Dad, are you aware of how they treat children born with magic in Stormbreak?"
