I saw a piece of heaven
The woman was pretty. More than pretty, actually, she was beautiful in a way that had color slowly creeping up Seren's cheeks. It was something in the way she moved. Slow and deliberate, like honey trickling from a comb. Or perhaps it was because she called Seren pretty. She'd received compliments before, of course, but not like this.
"Uhm.. well, not much," she admitted, her smile a touch awkward as she shifted her stance. "But smoke in general will irritate the membranes of the lungs if inhaled in excess. Even woodsmoke can cause damage over time. Cigarettes are far worse, of course." She gave the papered roll between the woman's fingers a pointed look. It was not the most convincing argument she'd ever made, but Seren at least thought she had the facts right. The thoughts did not come as readily to her mind as they usually did while looking at this person. Blue eyes flitted away, to fix instead upon a cluster of white flower near the lady's elbow.
Hm. Better.

Waiting, impatient, for me
