Dark hair for catching the wind, not to veil the sight of a cold world
"Alright then. Thank you." The woman smiled as she entered, ghosted by the gryphon. Awkward though she may be, there was an ease about the way she carried herself, that made her seem just as at home in this strangers house as she might in her own.
Given the option to choose, Seren didn't have to deliberate. "I think I'll go with the Torchline tea," she smiled, bowing her head graciously in thanks. "Can I help with anything?" It would be preferable over getting the guest treatment. Noah moved about with purpose however, and she suspected that any task would be more swiftly done if he did it himself. Still... it always made her restless to have her hands empty while others worked.
Foregoing the chair for the opportunity to look around, she was drawn towards the bird. As she approached, it stared down at her with wary eyes. Seren's skin prickled upon noticing how bright they were. Blue, not so very different from her own, and somehow... other. "Korbin..." she repeated softly, still gazing upward. "Not any regular raven, are you?" The raven clapped its beak but did not respond in any way she could discern. When it shuffled further off into a corner and tucked its head beneath a wing, Seren took the hint and left it alone. Questions burned in her mind, but Noah had not answered her... and intuitively, Seren felt that it might be a sensitive subject.
"You have a beautiful home, Noah," she remarked instead, turning her attention to the painted walls. Admiring the artwork, she glanced at her host with a smile - always smiling, was she, now that there was no more blood or water to choke on. "Is it common, for Halo houses to be painted like this?" The walls of the Kraai didn't have anything like it, but it might be reserved for private homes.
