Seren
He interjected again just as she opened her mouth to keep answering questions, and his sudden reversal and caution made her quite confused. The reprimand - if it even was one, it had more the sound of a gentle cautioning - reminded her of a promise made to her father not so very long ago. To be careful of strangers. Not even a season had passed, and already she was forgetting herself.
"I... I know," she replied, deflating somewhat. Rubbing an arm with her hand, the girl looked a little sheepish. "In my head I know, at least. But I've never met a person I couldn't trust, or who looked like they would do anything bad. It feels so... strange, to hold things back when it's so easy to just explain, and answer questions. There are always questions." Any other person might revel in the attention, and feed a mysterious air as answers were withheld. And while Seren certainly could see an allure in that - being sneaky and furtive, slipping through shadows on a hunt for secrets - it was exhausting to maintain. She would have to remember who knew what and whom she could trust and... She sighed, shaking her head.
"Does... this mean you don't want me to answer your questions?" she asked him.
But no, what Sah really seemed to want was for her to be curious about him. Nibbling at a lip, she tried not to grin openly - he was fun. "Do you mean to say that you have secrets?" She gave him a very wide eyed look of completely fake innocence, like this was the most outrageous suggestion. "Alright... I know that you arrived in Halo. You have a nice neighbor, and you can use lightning magic. You are scared of my gods, and someone flirted with you - and you had no idea what was going on." Tapping her lips with a thoughtful finger, Seren looked the young man up and down, her gaze glittering. "What do you do for a living?" It was probably no terrible secret, but you never knew.
