Loren bit his lip at the worry in Seren's voice, and the girl's troubled expression. Looking around at their surroundings, he returned his attention to her. As he did, he smiled as reassuringly as he could manage. "But you've already experienced so much."
Lifting a hand, he began ticking off the fingers of his hand. "You've seen a griffin, and flowers, and flown on a cloud, and a volcano, and your new house, and you touched ice." Pausing he gave her an encouraging nod. "What are some other things you've enjoyed?" Falling silent, he watched her carefully, hoping that she would be able to continue the list now that he'd started it.
