Whoever this Mama was the girl was speaking about, it felt awfully cryptic to Letha. "Hmmm." Letha mused at the information about people going inside to see her mother. Who was this woman? Was she important here in Torchline? This didn't seem like a place where official business was held and where actions were carried out, but Letha was new here and didn't know the inner-workings of this place. Mentally she shrugged, moving on.
Letha did not ask again--yet--about the girls mother. Instead, she offered her name, moving on with the girl's lead. "Letha," she let her smile widen, though it felt foreign on her face. Letha was more often stoic, or looking pensive, than she was smiling. She hoped it was warm, and didn't look threatening on her face (could a smile look threatening?) "It's a pleasure to meet you. What have you got there?" she gestured toward Seren's collection of stones.
