Oh, empty my heart
Seren did not run either. She already had quite the headstart and was several feet away already by the time Sah was freed from the pull of her magic. Strolling out across the meadow, she looked over the stolen plate to see what treats he had to offer in return for her pastry - not enough, she decided - and only looked up when she heard Lilly growl.
Twirling around, she walked backwards and looked suspiciously between Sah and the puppy. "Now, what are you two up to?" she accused. A thrill had begun to tickle along the spine, and it only intensified as she noticed the intense focus in both their eyes. Was she being hunted?
Glancing around, she found that there was very little to use for cover. Their gathering of rocks and the nearby party area with its light and music and milling crowd were the only shelters she could find. All else was rolling meadow, where grass and flowers swayed like rolling ocean waves in the gentle breeze.
Which... did not mean Seren was defenseless, of course. A quick glance upwards saw another star come tumbling down at her quiet command. Only, this time the shattering comet coalesced, not into butterflies but wolves. Two slender timbre-wolves, lit from within by starlight that trailed in the wake of their movements. They gave Sah and the puppy stern looks of distant apathy - soulless, conjured purely from magic - and moved to cover the young demi-goddess' back and flank. All her weak spots.
"Are you willing to fight for what is yours?" she challenged playfully, flaunting the plate like it was a prized treasure.

I've got to make room for this feeling
