I saw a piece of heaven
Ah, what wishful thinking. Seren's expression was non-plussed, as curious as she was confused. "A brothel... what is that? I've heard the word but no one would ever explain it." Growing up in Torchline, certain words were inescapable. But she had not stayed in the seedy port city so long that all the mysteries of adulthood had been revealed to her. Looking at Maeve, the starchild was surprised to see the other woman blush. Was it something bad? "If it's about pirates, it's alright," she tried to reassure. "Dad and Uncle Jata knows all about them, I'm sure." She said it with absolute confidence, her faith in her favorite people in the world unwavering. That it was based on stories told to a child had nothing to do with it.
Reaching out for the ground, Seren picked up a small stone. No bigger than the palm of her hand, it was almost perfectly round and had a hole carved right through the center. Chiseled by wind and rain rather than whales, most likely but curious all the same. Holding it up to her eye, she peered through it at Maeve. "Mhm. Lots of them," she said wistfully. "They sing beautifully. We should go see them sometime. Wouldn't that be fun?"
Lowering the stone, the girl turned it between her fingers a few times. Then held it out to Maeve in a quiet offer. "Would you come if I needed you, too?"

Waiting, impatient, for me
