It was a very exaggerated response. Seren knew this. In her head she knew, and she did feel bad. Especially when Maeve started apologizing. She just couldn't help it; her heart was still racing and alarm bells were ringing in her mind - and throughout the rest of her - and it was weird. Not a reaction that was entirely welcome.
"No, I - that's not why," the girl stammered, her whole face scarlet with embarrassment. "Mother's got nothing to do with it. It's just... I don't know you. And you don't know me. Why would you... flirt, with someone you don't even know?" Seren reversed the lightening spell on herself anyway, though. Lowering herself slowly back to the ground, she remained with her back pressed to the tree, an arm hugged about herself as though it might shield her. From what? She wasn't sure. "You don't have to do that," she mumbled in response to the offer, blue eyes averting to look anywhere except at Maeve.

Waiting, impatient, for me
