it does not bother me to say this isn't love
You're tempted to reach out and brush away the dark curls as you might do with Finn, but politeness keeps your hands where they are. "Ohhhhh, of course." You say with a laugh, crinkling your nose in a very obvious expression of, duh.
The way Sera looks up at you—it's only a slight incline of her chin, for you aren't that much taller—and how her head tilts, it's almost as if..."Always happy to have the help." You say perhaps a touch too brightly, your laugh a little too jittery. "Just..you know, no bits of you in the sample if you can avoid it." Smirking, you think better of it and shrug. "Unless you've got some ability you've not told me about?" You won't call it magic; that isn't a compliment in Stormbreak, but a death sentence. But there are special abilities that go around; special items, shifts kept in secret like yours, any number of god-blessed things that change the outcome of a situation. It was entirely possible that Sera had some extra talent. She was the youngest member of the Order by far, and that certainly took some skill.
