Seren
That statement left her with more questions than answers. Why would Ronin disapprove of Locke, if he had been the one to recruit the man? Would her father approve of her flirting with anyone at all? His talk about approving her 'friends' was fresh in her mind, and left her thinking that Safrin really might be more tolerant indeed. If Seren was interested. Which, honestly, she was not. It was amusing though, how this guy said almost the exact same thing as Maeve had. They might get along really well.
Happy to drop the subject despite her lingering curiosities, Seren breathed a little easier when no tales of gruesome injuries followed. Still, she would have to find out more about this. Would her father know? Maybe a letter could be sent, or... "I understand," she replied, looking a little disappointed when there really were no more details forthcoming. "Don't worry about it, I can ask someone else."
Poking at the food, she found that her appetite was gone. Not much was left on the plate, fortunately, so when Locke wanted to move on, she nodded and stood. Then winced, when her weight reawakened every single blister and scrape. Only when she was already on her feet did she notice the offered hand; smiling lopsided at him, she shook her head slightly. "Careful, or people might think you really are flirting," she joked. "Though little sister sounds rather nice, I have to admit." She only had younger siblings herself, neither of whom she had met. What would it be like, to have a big brother? Seren supposed she might find out. "Lead the way."
