I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Gentle concern warmed the blue of Seren's eyes, but she somehow managed not to ask if there was anything she could do. Obviously there wasn't. In a big, sprawling family, the threads tying everyone together were bound to tangle, and the last thing anyone needed was for her to start meddling. Having heard a little more about the latest drama from Hotaru, she could not imagine what kind of moods might be lingering like miasma beneath the rafters of that house.
"I'm sorry to hear that," she said instead, offering heartfelt sympathy when it was the only thing that remained to her. Or... was it? "You know... if you want to, you could come stay with us for a while? For a chance of pace. I have my own room at the Nest, it would be easy to fit in another bed. Or I'm sure dad, Remi and Matheo have a guest room, if you would prefer that."
She could picture it; a russet storm descending upon the stone city, to make it shudder at its foundations. It would be nice to have a friend around - the ones she had made so far were quite busy, and sporadic in their attentions.
"Oh, Ludo? Hm... well, there is a shrine to the three Old Gods, and there's the Trinity Temple... so technically there is. But I don't know if there is a specific shrine only to Ludo - unless..." Seren frowned in thought. "There is a gate that sections off a part of the cemetary. A priest I spoke to said there's only graves beyond it, but maybe there is something else. I wasn't allowed to go see for myself."
Looking over at Melita, curiosity was a live thing in her eyes, glittering and dancing. "Do you like Ludo, then? Have you met it - what is it like?"
