I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
The attempt to make light did not really work. The smile on the girl's face faltered, replaced by growing confusion. "He's not staying? With you, or... is he leaving Stormbreak? But he just got there..." She couldn't help it; there was a pang of loss in her chest at the thought. Maeve would be staying here, and if Locke left too then she would have no real friends left in the stone city. Her father would be there, certainly, and her brother. Remi too, but... that wasn't the same.
"I do like stories," she confirmed, somewhat deflated by the bad news. "I'd at least come visit once, if you would have me." She didn't have to stay long, or do anything if she didn't want... And a place run by Maeve had every promise of being interesting, even if their opinions of 'a good time' differed.
Seren took a half-step back, to avoid being crashed into. Seeing as the shell was approved for keeping, she held it out for Maeve to take. Such a small thing would only get lost in the Night land. "I see. That.. makes sense." Nibbling her lip, she thought about it. It was true she had not been conscious enough to say yes or no or refuse the help. But she still remembered. If it didn't count... "Maybe that's for the best, anyway. He was older than me." Judging by the little scowl and the slight blush, she wasn't entirely happy with the answer though. The whole world was older than Seren, and if she were to go by that logic, she would never be able to do anything.
