You have so much of everything but still you wanted more
His arm around her waist should have been strange and awkward, all things considered. But it was only warm and steady, just like the way she could feel him smile against her temple. Momentary tension slipped from Seren in a soft sigh, glad that he found something to laugh at, rather than sink into sorrow over the past. Did she do that? She hoped so. Bringing light into the darkness was her purpose - it didn't matter if it was only a small spark.
Relieved, and strangely content that they could still have this, Seren withdrew as Sah did, and pulled her knees up to the chest. Tried not to lean too much into the faint lingering touch of shoulder to shoulder, or actually think too much about it.
"Oh? Show me what?" Curious now, she watched as her friend raised his hand and began to move it around. Sparks began to dance over his skin, bright blue and white in the dim air of her isle; Seren gasped in delight and broke out in a wide smile that crinkled the eyes.
"Beautiful! You couldn't do that before? You are a hard worker." Without thinking, Seren reached out to touch the sparking electricity. In the light he created, her own night-filled aura became far more noticeable, until it appeared as though heat-lightning was dancing in violent arcs among distant stars.
