Maeve

She knew that telling her about Locke would likely bring down the mood. It wasn't what she wanted to do, but she also wasn't going to be someone who lied to her. Not when so many people seemed willing to keep things from the starchild. "I think he's leaving Stormbreak, Seren. I'm sorry... He was going to tell you. I thought he already had." Maeve admitted, pressing her lips together in a thin line. She felt terrible, a tightness in her own chest as she looked over at the girl. "Even if he does come back to Torchline we'll both come visit you and you can come here whenever you want. We can have sleep overs and braid each others hair and eat so much cake."

Maeve's expression softened and she came to a stop beside her, reaching up to brush her hair back in an affectionate gesture, "Of course I'll have you, petite étoile. You're my friend." She told her softly, brushing her thumb over her cheek in a way that's meant to be comforting to the younger girl.

With a soft sigh, Maeve too the shell, placing it carefully into her basket. "Seren... You'll have your first kiss one day. With someone you like and care about. It'll be special like you want it to be." She soothed, giving her a small smile as she looked over at her, arching a brow. "Oh? Who was it? If you don't mind me asking."

Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
