Seren
Umbra snaked his long neck out to sniff at the puppy, but pulled back when she started yipping and running. What truly set his curiosity ablaze was the tracking, however. Perplexed, he took to following her as she sniffed and darted about, and even went so far as to mimick her little barks - or as much as he could. From him, it sounded more like coughs and Seren had to bite her cheek to keep from laughing. As the wolf picked up the trail, the dragon was hot on her heels and left the humans to follow at their own pace.
Seren was surprised to realize that she actually knew the name Sah dropped.
"Oh, I think I know her," she said, rubbing at her cheek in thought. "Tall, dark haired and really motherly? If it's the same Vai, then she lived with my family for a bit when I was little." Her son too; though her memory of both were vague. The world was both biggger and smaller than she would have thought; above all, the influence of her parents - Ronin and Remi specifically - was really beginning to strike home with her. Everyone she met, all the people that knew them, or that knew people that knew them... It all seemed to tie back to them, somehow.
When it came to her errand here, the girl gave him a long, considering glance. He was a stranger... and she was supposed to be careful. But it didn't seem so very bad to talk about the quest, so in the end she shook her head and smiled easily.
"Not at all, I don't mind. She is helping me expand on a blessing. She's, eh... well, Safrin." For the first time in her life, Seren hesitated to drop her mother's name. She hoped the boy wouldn't think she was bragging, or suddenly become formal with her. It hadn't happened before, but...
