If you're caught in the shadow then turn around
If you hear my voice, follow the sound
'Cause I'm here to guide you home
If you hear my voice, follow the sound
'Cause I'm here to guide you home
Conflicting emotions flashed across her face. Disappointment that her secret apparently wasn't entirely untouched, excitement over learning something about what might be waiting beneath the ice - and reluctance when he mentioned the Warden.
"Do I have to?" she asked, lack of enthusiasm loud as a scream over her hunched shoulders. "I would rather not, I think. Halo is neutral, right? But it was Safrin who sent me here. And... even if it was by accident, or in the name of fairness, I would not want the Voice to learn about what we are doing here."

Seren didn't know the Warden either, and hated the idea that people not of her or her father's choosing would be roped into the adventure, forced on them for whatever reason.
"What did the creature look like?" she asked, when she could contain herself no longer. "I wonder what language it was... Imagine all the things such a being could tell us, if we understood it."
Maybe the creature and its wealth of knowledge was the treasure? "I would try to protect it, not hurt it," she mused, as an afterthought.
