You have so much of everything but still you wanted more
Ah, he understood. At least in part - Seren's gaze lingered on his face, and she wondered if he shared her longing too. For something, somewhere that could never be reached. Perhaps it didn't matter. Of all the people she had met so far, only Delphia and this misplaced Outlander boy had even come close, and it eased the loneliness within her by a fraction.
And he didn't mind being kept up at night - that was decidedly a good trait to have.
The offer for aid was immediate. Something warm and soft squeezed at her chest at his willingness to help even someone he'd likely never met, and she leaned in to press her shoulder against his in quiet gratitude. "It sounded like a bad breakup," she told him quietly, "so I think she mostly just needs a friend. But if anything does come up, I will take you up on that. Thank you, Sah - she's my best friend. Your offer means more than you know."
As did his sharp attention to her shifting moods when Stormbreak was mentioned. Just like that, Sah put words on a feeling of unease that had been haunting her for a long time. Nameless, restless, a lingering sense of unease. She drew breath and meant to tell him about it, all of it... but thought better of it when he followed up with the reservation.
"Not tonight," she echoed, sharing the sentiment. The current mood was much too precious to spoil with the kind of dark and menacing things that lurked within that holy city. "I do want to talk about it... but it's not a fun subject, so I think we should save it for another day. I might write you a letter, if you want?" To explain, to help sort out her thoughts... and to keep in touch. Maintain this connection, so that it could not be lost or forgotten.
It was much too precious a thing for that to be allowed.
