You have so much of everything but still you wanted more
Oh was a wonderful summary. It encompassed everything. From the surprise to the awkwardness and the hopeless 'okay, what happens now' that kept ringing like tiny monotonous bells in Seren's ears. She couldn't breathe for the tension that kept building and building within her, shoulders bunching up beneath the ears as if they might substitute the ground and give her a hole to hide in.
The silence was torturous. In the midst of it, against the backdrop of her own racing heartbeats, Seren could only think that fuck, she had ruined this. Ruined everything. They were supposed to be friends, and yet she went and said strange things, awkward things that broke the comfortable camaraderie they had been building. The insane part was that she didn't actually know this guy. Not really. Just facts, and that he was good at hugs, but that there was the very core of the problem and...
Sah's voice cut through the racing thoughts, and what he said brought Seren into absolute stillness. Not even breathing, she found herself staring wide eyed and disbelieving into the night. He what?
When dark specks began to dance before her eyes, the exhale came out a shuddering, trembling mess. Was spontaneous combustion a thing? Because she would either have to burst into flames, or sink through the ground, or evaporate into the sky - it just wasn't possible to contain this much pent up chaos without something happening. But no. She only had a little levitation spell that was of no use here, and pointless critters and an Island that would be perfect to hide in.
Only... only she really did not want to leave. Not now, not like this. And that left.. only one choice.
Very slowly, like a deer in headlights, Seren inched around. Gaze to the snow-covered ground, face flushed and stiff with roiling emotion... It flicked up at Sah, quick and shy, before looking away again.
Gods, what did she do? What did she say?
"Oh."
It was the perfect word.
