Oh, empty my heart
"A baron?" Tasting the uncommon word on her tongue, Seren found it wasn't half bad. "When was that? Is it like a governor?" There was a weight of pomp to the title that seemed very fitting. Reaching up to poke at his wriggling brood lines, she added, "Why did you quit being baron?"
Once they reached their destination, Seren wriggled free and slipped down to walk the rest of the way on her own feet, bare as they were. For a moment she paused and merely stood there, turning slowly on the spot while absorbing the sights. The dragon statue loomed like a dark shadow high overhead, barely visible from this close, and the buildings were dark. Only the occasional glow in a window suggested that someone was burning the midnight oil. It was still. Quiet, save for the occasional whisper of wind.
"Home," she tried slowly. The word and the night-darkened grounds did not fit well yet. Even so she tried to picture it. The courtyard full of milling bodies, the air thick with wings of every shade under the sun. Officers giving orders while soldiers rushed to obey. And she would be a part of it, with a Blue one on her shoulder.
She was smiling again when she hurried along to catch up with Ronin. "Do I get my own room?" she asked, and skipped ahead to pull open the door for him.

I've got to make room for this feeling
