I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
"It is very practical." Following along easily in the dance, pliant if not exactly graceful, Seren's face felt ready to split from the wide smile. Seeing Maeve so giddy was lovely, it was as though she had shared a piece of her own inexhaustible energy with the woman. This place truly was a starry wonderland, a perfect reflection of her own perspective.
Sharing the gravity pulse allowed them both to become lighter, and when their hands threatened to part, Seren too kicked off from the sand. Up they drifted, spinning in a slow pirouette that took no balance or effort to maintain. And the stars were all around them, big and bright and just out of reach, no matter how they might stretch to touch them. "Yes," the demi-god agreed. "They all are. Everything I can do, and all I am is my mother's gift to me." Every syllable breathed of her love for the goddess; never would it occur for the star-child to be ungreatful. Not even on the occasions when the why of it eluded her.
Love and willful desire was enough of an answer, wasn't it?
Eventually their ascent halted, and they began to drift downward again. Not weightless, but made lighter, there were limits to how long Seren could keep them aloft. On the way down, she impulsively tried to wrap her arms around Maeve in a hug.
