Oh, empty my heart
Sensitive to the changes in other people's moods, Seren cocked her head aside and gazed up at Harper. Understanding made her eyes warm; she knew what it was like to be torn between two people, and wanting to be in both places at once.
"What do you want?" she asked, voice as soft as the question was pointed. "But you are right, skyboats do make things easier. Sometimes I think it is a little too convenient... one can so easily become wrapped up in too many things at the same time." Work or play, family or friends, stretching herself thin to be everywhere at once - until something had to give. Harper was probably better at tempering his desires than she was, of course; Seren wanted to do everything right away.
"Either way... if that's an offer to teach me, I would be happy to accept." She made to poke him playfully with the hale elbow, quietly delighted that he would suggest it. Even if her messed up shoulder forced the timing into the future, she was still looking forward to it.
"I'm okay, really. I just forgot that it might hurt." A little sheepish, Seren nevertheless allowed Harper to inspect the arm. His touch was light and careful, and the ache was already fading again. "I can see a healer when I get back home." It was a brave attempt; the journey to Stormbreak would take half a day, if the winds were good.

I've got to make room for this feeling
