I saw a piece of heaven
Seren couldn't quite tell if the remark was meant as a quip or not. The slight rise of her eyebrows suggested she didn't think it was all that much to praise, and so she shrugged. It was only facts. "They look like cigarettes. And you are still inhaling smoke," she pointed out, the tone mild as before; she had no intention of arguing about it, nor would she try to stop the woman from continuing. It was an informed choice by now, after all.
At the invitation however, Seren hesitated. The scent of the not-cigarette made her a little queasy, and the occasional breaths of wind made the stones hum again. A low, droning sound that made the hair on her arms stand up in mingled terror and delight. "Oh, I'm... my name is Seren. Thank you, but I was looking for something, actually. You didn't happen to see a patch of bare stones somewhere around here?" It seemed rude to just leave, but then again the idea of sitting down next to that woman was as terrifying as it was tempting. Which... was completely illogical because she was nice. Right? A bit thirsty though, if the way she licked her lips was any indication.

Waiting, impatient, for me
