Love, let's talk about love
A silent moment passed, while Seren chewed her lip. Tasted the truth of his words, until she could nod slightly beneath his chin. "I believe you." Though part of her felt that this accidental wounding was almost worse. It implied a lack of control she had not expected in him, and wanted to mock the calm safety she had always felt while being near him. If that was an illusion...
He laughed, and the sound brought her out of her thoughts. The explanation made sense, in a way, but also reminded Seren of why she had been keeping her distance in the first place. Yet here she was anyway, curled up in his arms and leeching on his warmth like it was the most natural thing in the world. Planning camping trips, and...
Her thoughts screeched to a halt. Color that had nothing to do with either cold or anger or clotted lacerations began to darken her cheeks, blessedly hidden along with the rest of her face. Though Seren tried to, she couldn't help but slowly tense up as she was squeezed even tighter, and the response within her own body made the mind go blank.
It was cozy. And warm. And absolutely terrifying in its alluring comfort, that beconed her to just forget everything and lose herself.
"I... That's not - it's not..." Stuttering, tripping over her own tongue and failing time and again to catch the meaning of what she was even trying to say, Seren squirmed a little where she sat. Not exactly pulling away, but growing much too aware of where Sah's hands rested on her back, behind her head. "I didn't... but I also do - I... just - " I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what I want from you.
Off to the side, having landed in the sand, there came another snort from Umbra. Just as short, but somewhat amused too. As if he just caught her with a lie.

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
