i feel smal, but so are stars from a distance
You can't help but snort another laugh, which you feel in the back of your throat. "I...guess that's true." You admit, finding yourself entirely thrilled by Sera's acceptance of your made-up word (or not, you don't know). "Well...I can't always schedule when people are going to hurt themselves. Though it would be a lot easier if I could." You add, precisely as Sera stumbles, as if proving her point.
"Oh, no, not at all." You reply quickly with a nervous laugh, glancing over at Sera and shaking your head. "It was...well, I'm sure you heard about Finn having to be brought back from the Hollowed Ground?" Biting the inside of your cheek, you reach up to adjust your bangs with a mittened hand before letting it drop back into your pocket. "I was the one who went to get him. I...suppose I thought I could handle him on my own." You exhale a puff of smoke not unlike the one Sera just did. "Boy, was I wrong."
Pretending to look offended at that—all you can do is widen your eyes from behind your scarf—you stop to think about it. "I mean, all I drink is red wine and I haven't done a sit-up in about ten years but..." Biting the inside of your lip, you flash Sera what you hope is a mischievous look. "When in Rome..." Then, realizing that was one of those Outlander phrases your parents have told you about, you pause to explain the meaning.
