I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Safrin's daughter endured the laughter with elevated dignity for about three heartbeats. Then she too fell into it, until she had to clutch her stomach to stay upright. Gasping for breath she wiped at her eyes and tried to reply, only to fall back into hopeless mirth.
Only the threat of shoes made her snap out of it. "Oh, no, please. No shoes. I'd love lessons and and learning more, but let's not bother with pointy shoes." Already the name sounded terrifying. "Thank you, Maeve. That was fun. Time for your reward, now?"
Once Seren could breathe properly, she straighened and made a gesture in the air, as though it was no more than a veil to be parted. Reaching a hand forth as the space before her began to shimmer and distort, it vanished into nothingness, as if the whole hand had been cut off.
Extending the spare hand towards Maeve for her to take, blue eyes sought hers while a confident smile lingered on her lips. "Do you trust me, my friend?"
