Hey, starchild, are you listening?
A child's admiration should not be so gratifying, but it was. Seren preened for all of two seconds, until Mateo swiftly popped the self satisfaction again. "Eh, no, not yet. But I have an island!" she countered, as if it was a competition. One she would absolutely lose, alas.
The soft mess of hair made her fingers ache for a comb and a chance to sit down with the boy, just long enough to sort through it once. "Is that so? That's interesting. Did you know that some animals are poisonous too? Not just snakes but some birds too. I hope you're being careful with the dangerous plants?" She didn't really want to test the efficacy of his herbs on her own brother.
Upon reaching the Celestine, Seren let Mateo go first and followed into the twilight gardens with a long breath that spoke of relief. A tension the har not been aware off ran off the shoulders; here there would be no aura of night to set her apart. At least, not one noticeable to most.
