She didn't of course, for the embers of such a future had long gone cold.
"She does much of it on her own, yes. Seren isn't reducible down to just you or I, nor will she ever be.

Perhaps you'd know why it needed to be you. You'd know why I couldn't take the chance of asking you, only to be turned down."
Because then I would have had to force you, rather than just mislead you. Her dark eyes said as a chilled sea-breeze rushed through the room.
