Seren watched as Angel entered, and closed the door behind her. There was no mistaking the fact that the girl was upset, that much had been evident on her face the moment she saw her... and it only seemed to be getting worse.

".... it's going to be alright... come, tell me what's wrong," she soothed, gesturing to the puffy stools where she too sat herself - unwilling at this point to put a table between them. It was hardly conducive to nurturing. "Can I pour you a tea?" she asked.
