Oh, empty my heart
Blinking as Sah withdrew, Seren followed his gaze down and had to smile at the eagerly wagging tail on the puppy. For some reason it was more awkward to be in this half-held state than wrapped close in a proper hug. Intensely aware of every move Sah made, she focused her attention on Lilly, arms coming down so she could pet the companion. The lick hit her squarely on the nose; giggling in surprise Seren wiped off some of the drool and bent her neck slightly, so she could nuzzle her face into the soft fur.
"Little gremlin," she murmured affectionately. "She's much softer than Umbra".
It should be strange, standing like this. Tangled up in an open field, doing nothing. Being so close. But it was nice, and if this was strange then Seren did not even care. Inching closer, she slipped her arms back around Sah - and now the puppy too - and settled her head down on his shoulder with a sigh that was both contented and very deep. Like a mountain was being lifted away.
"This is nice," she murmured. Not quite brave enough to look at Sah's face.

I've got to make room for this feeling
