Love, let's talk about love
Both relieved for and regretting the loosened grip, the complicated little sigh that slipped unbidden from Seren expressed more than words her conflicting emotions. Sah's assurance that he would train reflected her thoughts to an almost eerie degree and she wanted to just be happy about that, and express her belief in his ability to solve this problem.
But his quiet laughter in her ear sealed her throat shut, until she could only shake her head in a vague refusal of the apology. What did he have to be sorry for? She was the one being ridiculous. Freaking out all on her own, getting snappy with her friends when they pointed out things she wasn't ready to hear.
It took every ounce of will she possessed to unglue her tongue from the roof of her mouth. To squeeze her arms around his middle just a little bit, and not immediately freak out from the mute indication that she did not actually want to leave.
"We're good," she repeated meekly, thoroughly embarrassed. She wished she could laugh at this too. That it wasn't something to scare her stiff. "I'm sorry. I keep making everything weird..."

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
