This is the long forgotten light at the end of the world
It was exactly the kind of distraction Seren had wanted. Gradually as she listened the scowl on her face faded and vanished, and her thoughts became absorbed in the tale of a foreign goddess. One who kept reminding her of her own mother - though she didn't press the likeness. She had promised not to try and sway her friend, after all.
The reminder that Sah had come close to dying once before had her swallowing thickly, hating the idea even in a tale of the distant past. "Maybe that is why you feel so much weaker now?" she suggested, and glanced down at her own hand. Even stirring a finger made night and stars come alive around her skin, trailing cloak of darkness and light announcing the divinity in her own blood. "If you got used to that sort of amplified strength, I bet even a return to your original capabilities might have felt lacking. To start over from the beginning after that... must be very frustrating." She did not mention that the removal of that sort of blessing indicated that Mune was truly no longer within reach.
Keeping herself busy with the sewing of what might end up as a Ludo plushie, Seren mulled over the war he kept referring to. "What... kind of things were you fighting over, back then?" she asked. "Were your wars caused by gods there, too?" Did Mune ever call for the murder of individuals? Or was her moonlight free from shadows, only pure and bright? Seren couldn't bring herself to ask that. It sounded mean in her own ears, after Sah's declaration of love for the lost goddess.
