Love, let's talk about love
As soon as Sah moved, the fire was cut off, and the dragon shot up to circle from a higher elevation. The question made Umbra snort, a sharp and almost derisive sound, clearly believing that the human should know the answer to that already.
The crunch of steps over sand and glass made Seren tense at first, her grip on Lilly tightening. When nothing happened - no talking, no touching - she slowly raised her head, red-rimmed eyes gazing in silent question at Sah. That's when she saw his outstretched arms. The offer. The pain in his expression, lit up by the bird that still perched on his shoulder.
She hesitated. For a heartwrenching moment, she did not move. Could not, paralyzed by the storm of conflicting emotions that raged on the inside. It took a mental nudge from Umbra to snap her out of it, and there was the smallest lurch forward. Her grip on Lilly loosened, and in a tentative gesture she reached for Sah instead, willing to let herself be pulled in.

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
