Seren
Not that Seren would know, of course. She only saw what was right in front of her, and right now it was a kind man who gave her food and made her laugh. It was all she needed to like him. Did it make for a deep understanding of his nature? Probably not. But for a first encounter it was a good sign. At least she could understand his comment about Maeve being likeable, and nodded in agreement. "How did you meet?" she asked, suddenly curious.
Once the tea water was set to warm, Seren flopped down into the other chair. "That sounds nice," she said with a wistful note, as she began to untie the laces of her boots. Kicking them off was a relief; she grimaced as she tried to massage some feeling back into the toes without aggravating too many of the blisters. "I have quite a large family, in a way, but we're all scattered. Mother is... well, Safrin. She only comes here for brief moments. And dad... he's got Remi. I have two half-siblings that I haven't even met them yet. I don't know if I will ever have everyone gathered in the same place." If Seren could have only one, very selfish wish... but it simply wasn't possible.
"That might be fun. What kind of food do you usually make?" The topic change was perhaps a little too abrupt, but if she was anything but cheerful on the inside, it was impossible to tell through her expression.
