Seren
A shudder passed through Seren at the thought of stepping into that white void, only to step out... different. It played into every fear she had of losing her freedom. Nor did the idea of being spyed on appeal in the slightest. The space between had been creepy enough without this possibility... now it was downright terrifying. Dry at the mouth she moistened her lips and nodded solemnly betwen Safrin's hands. "I promise, Mother. I will never set foot in one of her portals again. Not for any reason." Never again would she use convenience as an excuse. Even without a shyship, even if it took months... "I promise." The second time around, the vow was as much to herself.
Drawing in a deep breath, tension bled from her shoulders. Keeping things to herself and carrying guilt was really uncomfortable. Having spoken of it, everything felt so much better. From the rain to the scents of summer, to the familiar chafe of cloth against the skin.
Slowly, a smile grew back onto pursed lips. There was adventure to be had. Secrets under the Sea of Glass? How curious, that she would joke about melting the ice of the inland sea only for this to happen. "I imagine we would need ways to breathe under water," she mused aloud, with glittering eyes. "And some way to resist the cold. I definitely want to try. Father did say I only had to ask..." And she did look forward to a chance to see Halo again.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
