Oh, empty my heart
"My own fault, really. Got no one to blame, unfortunately." Leaning on the shovel helped steady her. She even managed an air of casual calm, even though Seren mostly just wanted to lie down. There would be a lot of that, later. But the task needed to be completed first.
For a second, Seren thought of declining the offer. Pride, stubbornness and whatnot rejected the idea of being seen as weak. Then she caught herself, and threw a glance up and down the patch of road she had designated for herself. It wasn't long, yet it had taken her nearly an hour to shovel a third of the way.
"If you want to," she replied with a slightly sheepish smile, "I would appreciate the company." She gestured off towards a nearby shed where she had borrowed her shovel, indicating there was more to find there. "Thank you, miss...? I'm Seren Taliesin."

I've got to make room for this feeling
