Casey hadn’t been completely unobservant. Casey noticed some nuances in their conversation - the way her gaze would linger a little longer or the way she always smiled lightly. Her gaze was never intense, matching the easiness in which Casey found her to talk to. Casey had noticed her polite, but interested gaze as she had removed her outer layers. But she also seemed reserved. Perhaps it was shyness or something else, but Casey was beginning to feel emboldened by it all. Casey had kept her interest low, not wanting to be too much, but maybe it was time to see if things could go farther.
As Seren spoke of what she researched and was interested, Casey found herself genuinely fascinated by it. There wasn’t much there, perhaps things too personal to share, or with crazy magic stuff happening, maybe she was just afraid to share it. Casey’s posture shifted. He rested her elbow on the table and cupped her chin in her hand, her eyes gleaming with fascination.
”Pattens…” she said the word, with a slight smile. The word meant something, and Casey was curious what stories and legends she had found. Maybe ones that mentioned people like Elyse and Anita. She was certain there were probably loads regarding channelers. What about it dreamers like herself.
She sat up a little more, putting her arm back down as she considered Seren’s question. ”Well, letting go of old guilt is helping me be okay to be myself a lot more. A journey of self discovery of sorts. Learning new things about myself. Seeing patterns in myself I haven’t noticed before. Accepting things that I’m now ready to accept. I’ve met a lot of people - many of them very interesting people.” she met Seren’s gaze and smiled, allowing her boldness to come through. ”Sometimes I’m lucky - I meet someone interesting that also happens to have pretty eyes.” she let the flirt linger then. Hopefully her bravery didn’t mess things up.
