Uh oh ...

Perhaps hugging the girl wasn't the right move, there were actual tears now. Unfortunately for her, Angel was not Derfael, she couldn't simply fix her a bottle of tea and craddle her in her arms ... couldn't she? Could she? ... Noooooooo.

Pouring herself and Angel some tea, Seren moved the sugar bowl between them before adding one to her own cup. She was listening, and nodding, and she could relate to the Lioness's woes. "I know how you feel," she replied with a small smile. "When I first started I felt the same way. My garden was at home, I was here in a strange place by myself," though Angel at least had sisters with her, that was a little less lonely.. "but I just so dearly missed my flitterbloom," she reflected, crossing one leg over the other before helping herself to a sip of tea.

"You know what I found helped?" she asked rhetorically before continuing, replacing her cup in her saucer. "I started up my own garden here. I still sent mum directions on what to do at home, and she sent me photographs to show me they were fine..." and then she had two gardens, which was even better than one. No?
