Don't Wanna Let Go

It was hard to put himself in her position when she came from such a different situation from himself, but it was kind of nice to get to have things explained from different perspectives. He wasn't sure how he would have felt if he hadn't known his dad or had gotten separated from him for a long time and suddenly found him with a whole life that had moved on without him. It seemed like Serenity didn't really mind it though and had even expected that would be the case. He was glad she didn't have any kind of sore feelings about the whole situation, but if she did he wouldn't have really blamed her. He nodded with understanding as she talked about assuming that Ulric would have had a family. He certainly did, even if they were all kind of scattered and fragmented.

He gave a curious little tilt of his head when she mentioned how she could relate with not have a whole of good to report. Sometimes he thought about himself when he was younger and how hard he had pushed his father and his family away and when he heard how young she had been when she had been left on her own it made him feel a little guilty. He already knew that he had taken the stuff around him for granted, but hearing more about how she had grown up made him feel a little worse. "I'm sorry you had to grow up like that," he said, giving her a glance and a soft smile before he looked back at the forest around him.

His ears perked with surprise when she asked about seeing him with a girl, wide pale blue eyes glancing toward her with a guilty grin. "Yeeeeeeah," he agreed with a chuckle, his ears flicking bashfully. "Her name's Syanna. I met her out here by the falls actually." He grinned with amusement at the memory, figuring sharing the story with her was as good a way as any to keep the conversation going. "She was gathering some kind of mushroom and I accidentally startled her and made her crush it and she got so mad at me. I don't know how she ended up liking me after all that, but then we ran into each other later when she was running from a saber cat. I saved her from the cat and she saved me from bleeding out after it injured me and the rest is history I guess."
