Love, let's talk about love
"It's not your fault," Seren mumbled. "Of course it isn't. You were in the middle of this, and I..." She bit her jaws together. Looked away, out at the sea.

"Halo was supposed to be aligned with the Old Gods. For his part in burning Torchline, this was the task Safrin gave Deimos. Morgan's 'neutrality' is a sham because of her relationship with Neron, and my Mother wished for her to be replaced. Deimos does not want to rule, and so he made Hotaru take the spotlight instead. She has done it before, and knows the task.
"When Hotaru became pregnant, and because they did not want to bring unnecessary harm to the Citadel or to Morgan, they asked for my help."
Pausing, Seren sucked in a breath. Tense, fearing his reaction - but it was too late to stop now. "I agreed to help them, since it was a task given by my mother and goddess."

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
