Seren
The young dragon, having lurked in the backdrop - unusually quiet, for being him - snorted and looked up when attention was brought upon him. Seren followed the direction of the pointed finger, and hoped that she truly did understand. Loving was good, and right, and hurting over the loss of love, dignity and honor was alright too. But the moment she went to exact that same pain upon others...
"'When you embark upon a journey of revenge, dig two graves'," she cited, recalling a text she had read somewhere. "Was she wrong to stand up for herself, too? Even if she did go about things the wrong way... Hotaru said that there are things that cannot be taken lying down." Seren did not care for the concept of 'winning' an argument, but she did somewhat understand the need to demonstrate and draw borders. When people did not listen to words... what did you do then?
Resting her face in Safrin's hands, the girl hummed and smiled softly. Soothed as always by her mother's wisdom, her troubles became easier to bear.
"I don't mind being naive. I just hope that when the time comes to stand my ground, I will not be ignorant or unable to speak." Frowning a little, she thought back to the fire, to Atlas, to Aurelia baring down on the animal with fire and death.
"I don't know if I can stand my ground," she amended. "I am very good at running away from trouble, but what do I do if there is something I have to protect?" Her critters would certainly help, but even star-wolves felt inadequate if she faced more than one adversary at a time.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
