Oh, empty my heart
A peculiar smile hovered over Seren's lips as she listened. In part it was the charm of being told a story and learning things she never knew before. Sah had a way of speaking that was easy to get lost in, and she was endlessly fascinated by the fleeting emotions that occasionally flitted across his face.
She did rather enjoy the idea of how he had risen up to fill a role for which he had been destined, too. There was a fairytale quality to it - prince coming to his crown too early, yet desiring to be a good king - that sat a little too well with her. So much that she often forgot that they were still talking about wolves. That he was one.
"Sounds to me like you were a very good boy," she teased playfully, to see if she could knock that proud smirk down a few notches. He certainly earned it, from what she could tell, but it made Seren a little too aware of all the things she had not accomplished yet. "Did you like it? Being the leader? I can imagine one might get a taste for it..." Having others obey your orders, making decisions and knowing they would be followed. Heavy, true, and not something to be taken lightly. Yet so many seemed to strive for it.
Taking note of the bandage properly, Seren slipped down from her rock and approached Sah's perch on light feet. Reaching up her hands for his, she smiled up at him.
"Let me see? I didn't realize the thing bit you. All it did was lick my finger a little. It was strange, but not terrible." The whole situation had been bizarre, and in the aftermath she had missed her chance to speak to many of those gathered.

I've got to make room for this feeling
