If anything, the attempt at subterfuge only made Seren more curious. Had she not been indebted to this man already she would have insisted on asking more questions. But between the raven's wary posture and Noah's apparent caution, she decided to leave it. "I don't doubt it," she replied, with a playful wink in his own direction. "I would love to know more about all of you, in time." It was completely true, double meaning aside; already Seren was falling for the austere landscape and the cold climate. It was everything she had imagined it to be, even at a surface glance.
Turning back towards Noah from the murals, she nodded understanding with even more appreciation. "It must be a remarkable person. It's so skillfully done!" Then she paused, belatedly registrering the nuance of what he had said. "Are... they still around?" she asked, far softer than before. Expecting tragedy, hoping for mere mundane departures. But Caido was rarely merciful like that.
