Seren
I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Destined to seek, destined to know
Destined to seek, destined to know
Breakfast seemed very unimportant compared to all the other interesting things she had to consider. Like germs, and whiskey smells, and the very disappointing fact that Sunjata had not seen any mermaids. This seemed like an awfully tragic thing, since pirates and mermaids were supposed to be friends. "It's okay," she told Sunjata reassuringly - halfway reaching out to pet his hand before she remembered she wasn't allowed - "you will probably find one soon."
"Hmmm. Okay." In the end, Seren just accepted Father's words at face value, and didn't object further. She already had one hand to hold after all, and it wasn't like she would force Sunjata to hold it. Even if he still looked like he might need it.
The soup was warm enough to steam in the air, and Seren accepted her bowl very carefully. Like the obedient child she was, she blew a long time on the contents before she tried it, and promptly burned her tongue anyway. But it was tasty, and it didn't take long before the growling monster in her belly was sated. When she had eaten as much as she could manage, the girl spent the time peering up at the stall vendor, who ignored her, and playing with the rain that dripped from the roof - it was wet - and gazing about in the haze of the morning at the surrounding city.
"Are there people in every house?" she asked, trying to count them... but didn't get further than both her own fingers.

I am a princess on the way to my throne
Destined to reign, destined to roam
Destined to reign, destined to roam
