Oh, empty my heart
It was her turn to become wide eyed. Her father had been in the Greatwood along with her? It was not what she had expected, and for a moment she wondered whether he had been keeping tabs on her. But probably not... a nimbus could travel both far and fast, there was no reason why Ronin wouldn't be any particular place.
"What makes you think that?" she asked, a little tentative. Awkward... might be fine. Sah was still alive and well and seemed unharmed, so it was probably fine. It should be fine.
Reaching for the bottle, she dipped her free hand into the pocket space and rummaged for a bit, before producing two cups. Holding out one to Sah with a querying rise of a brow - did he want some? - Seren went back to the topic of family.
"I agree. So far things have been fine, there is some grumbling here and there, but people can be civil with each other. I just hate to think of what will happen when..." Hesitating, she looked up at Sah. Studied his honest, sincere face, and pressed on. It was hardly a secret anyway. "My uncles husband... Nate. He is an Ascended." Her bottom lip was starting to turn red from all the nibbling - this was not the kind of conversation she had wanted, but there they were. Talking about the difficult stuff. "And my uncle is sworn to my mother. The father of her child. It's... It can only become messy."
And the starchild did not even know the half of all that went on beneath the surface, kept from her by considerate parents.

I've got to make room for this feeling
