An Evening of Unexpected Events (Coren)

[Sera]

As they walked, Sera couldn't help but just smile and listen to him. It was going to be a good day after all. When he mentioned stories, she chuckled. "Stories are always good. It's the best way to let people in, or lie to them." She said solemnly. "And I don't really mean that in a bad way." "And I don't think you're incompetent. And I don't even know you very well, so that's saying something. You're alive, you're willing to work. And you stand tall... Or at least taller than me." She winked at him. "And that has to be saying something." Though, Sera did wonder what he would teach. He mentioned that he liked to read and write, but on top of that, what would he teach? Was that his goal. She didn't ask him though. Why? She wasn't sure of it would sound offensive. "I'm always up for storytelling." She said. "You tell one, and I'll tell one in return, but just know, it may be some embarrassing things when I was a child. So if you plan to use it against me, please just let me know in advance." They had made it to the Mirror Lake. And it was beautiful. Sera stopped walking, not paying attention if Coren would as well. "Wow... It's still gorgeous." She spoke softly. "I remember coming her with my sister a lot as children. I'm pretty sure it was here where I started dancing. On ice of all materials of ground!" She exclaimed, staring at the reflection of the sky on the ice. The Auroras were such a beautiful sight. The girl folded to her arms in front of her chest and looked towards Coren. "I can't remember where we go to get skates though... Was it over there?" She pointed to the lodge a little walks away.

Coren let out a small chuckle as she mentioned willing to work. “Well I have to disappoint you on that account. I'm pretty lazy and slow to get stuff done if I don't care for what I have to do.” A small tone of amusement crept in his tone as he quickly tried to steer away from the topic of his laziness. “And to be really honest, standing taller then you isn't very hard.” Coren said in a teasing tone as he rummaged through his years and years of memories, trying to find something that wouldn't put her to sleep if he told it. “Well, I'm not a very good storyteller by a long shot,” Coren began, pointly ignoring the little jab that he should warn her before using her stories against her. “But I think you would find the time that I managed to dump a bucket of fishguts over a couple when I was around six winters old, Or was it seven?” Coren paused for a few moments before just shrugging. “Well it probably isn't that important how old I was, but you might find it a little bit amusing.” Coren was about to do his vantha blood proud and start rambling on about his little adventure he had when he was younger. But then he noticed that sera suddenly stopped in her tracks when they had arrived at the mirror lake. Stopping as well he was just about to ask what the matter was she suddenly spoke up and commented about the beauty of the mirror lake. Coren just shrugged in response. “Well, it just looks like a bunch of ice to me to be honest and yes, I think we have to get the skates from that lodge. I don't see anywhere else where we can get ice skates from.” Coren said as he began walking towards it at a leisurely pace. He wasn't exactly to eager to make a fool out of himself on the ice.
