This is the long forgotten light at the end of the world
Whether it was other people she doubted, or her own ability to see clearly what others were truly like was hard to say right now. The distinction was fine, and it bottled down to the same thing, in the end. The tools Harper offered were ones of clarity and insight; it mattered little if those were later used to confirm innocence or fish out the betrayers of trust and good will.
His reassurances saw some tension bleed from her shoulders. Seren appreciated that there might be some benefit for Harper too; it made her feel less demanding. Like the needy child she so adamantly wanted to step away from. Inhaling a full lung's worth of breath for what felt like the first time, the young woman unfurled from the hunched over position.
"Then... alright. I would like that... very much." she said, the smile becoming steadier. More embarrassed, as the chaos ceded its grip on her thoughts; stars, if she wasn't overdramatic today.
A dragon's cry on the wind made her look up quickly, twisting to see the large blue shadow come swooping in, worry blooming through the bond.
The motion jerked her off balance, and automatically Seren stepped back to catch herself. Only... there was nothing to step on, and with a horrible, lurching and swooping sensation in her stomach she began to fall.
