Hey, starchild, are you listening?
Remi's surprise about the hug hurt a bit. Did he think she didn't care about him? Or that she somehow didn't want to be close to him? Seren squeezed him tighter than was strictly necessary to hide the sudden insecurities, and rattled on at the same breathless pace. Stumbling over herself to chase down thoughts and dragons before they could disappear.
"Whatever that is, I might want some," Seren said about the spilled vial, even as she tried not to grimace too wildly about the broken glass. The scent reminded her of her mother, and that glow... it was interesting. Hefting the dragon over a shoulder, she kept him pinned there despite loud protests and returned to Remi with a sheepish smile. "This homewrecker is Umbra," she introduced. "Remember that time we went swimming and found a blue seashell? He is the result."
Hearing that neither father nor brother was home didn't really come as a surprise. It only confirmed a nagging suspicion, and Seren waved it off with an exasperated laugh. At herself, and impulsivity. "Don't be sorry! One out of three is a wonderful outcome. Besides, there's more cake for you now! And I haven't seen you in a long time." Tilting her head aside, Seren looked him over from top to toe. Scrutinizing, though she had never been able to read his expressions well. "How are you?"
