Seren
It was not weakness to her eyes, but a sign of trust. Stepping in closer, Seren wrapped her arms around Maeve and pulled her into a tight hug.
"It's going to be alright, love," she whispered, soothing words for her friend's ears only. "Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but one day it will."
Holding on for a long while, Seren pulled back and held the other woman by the shoulders. Her expression was uncharacteristically grave, no trace of a smile in her eyes. It made her look older, the child a long way away.
"If you want to come, I will not stop you. But you need to do exactly as I say, okay? I'm going to collect a Gilded Lily. I'm sure you understand how serious it can be if something goes wrong." Seren stared straight into Maeve's eyes, to make sure that she understood. This was not going to be easy, not was it going to be fun and games. Someone could die, their hearts stopped in an entranced sleep... unless steps and measures were taken. She had a plan, but whether it worked was still to be seen.
