Glitter in the sky, glitter in my eye, shining just the way I like
It wasn't fair. But then, nothing in life ever truly was. Some were born blessed, while others had to fight for every scrap. Seren had luck on her side. She was among the favored ones. Loving parents, education and powers to boggle the mind, a good physique, no small amount of natural talent and a good heart to top it off. Every path lay open to her and there was nothing she could not accomplish if she set her mind to it. It was a priviledge, and one that came with responsibility.
She did not see the jealousy flare within her friend, but Seren did sense it in the tension, in the words that never quite said 'I wish I had that'.
"It is," she admitted, not trying to brush it off. "I am among the fortunate ones. And, if you do end up having a child, I have no doubt that they will be too." Because that's what this was about, wasn't it. "But it's not like you are alone, right? You have Locke, and you have me. And even if everyone else disappear, Safrin will always remain."
It was the easiest thing, to be generous and share ones fortune when she had so much of it. It wasn't as if her mother's love for her would diminish by sharing it among others.
