Signe laughed softly, a hand instinctively lifting to twiddle with her hair as her cheeks warmed. “Sparkly goddess eyes? Now, I’m sure you tell that to all the girls,” she said with amusement, although there was a shy gratitude there as well like she wasn’t sure how to respond to the compliment said so matter-of-factly. “I’ll admit, I don’t know all that much about astrology. I just blame everything on Mercury in retrograde and call it a day.”
“ it's in your features , ” serena notes , earnest . “ libras are ruled by venus . you've got the soft features and sparkly goddess eyes . that and the elongated facial structure . once you know what to look for , it's pretty obvious . ” serena shares it like this is well known knowledge — and to most , it definitely isn't .
Signe blinked, an incredulous laugh escaping her lips before she could help it. “Whoa, how did you guess?” she grinned. “October 6th birthday.” She tilted her head slightly, amused and a little intrigued. “Should I be worried that you’re about to read my soul or something? I wasn’t planning on having an existential crisis today, but I could be convinced.”
serena lets out a light laugh , amused by the other . “ don't joke around like that because i might take you up on it . ” serena loved doing readings . truly . however , having some more serious clientele — private ones at that , would make a huge financial difference in her life . “ what's your sign ? you're giving me libra vibes . ”
Signe hesitated for a moment, trying to decide if her request was had crossed a line when the girl reached across and made quick work of the tangled mess that she’d been struggling with for the past ten minutes. She raised an eyebrow at the other, giving a very pointed stare to the flash of fingers working through the knots. “Uh … yes? You look like someone who could take on every knot-related crisis in the tri-county area.” She took the bracelet back gently, her smile leaning towards sheepish. “I sew like…actual clothes. I thought I could handle a couple of pieces of string.” Signe laughed quietly as she studied the now pristine and untangled beginnings of a bracelet. “Apparently not, but you’ve got my full endorsement if you need testimonials for business,” she quipped.
serena takes one look at the knot , “ do i look like i know how to untangle these things ? ” it wasn't supposed to come off any way , but her relaxed tone said otherwise . taking the bracelet without second thought , serena gets to work . “ i used to be obsessed with making these . that might've been my first business actually . ” memories flood back to a little serena , setting up shop in elementary school , her stash of friendship bracelets sitting in her pencil box for her peers to peruse . within seconds , serena hands the bracelet back , shrugging . “ you're making me want to pick this up again . ”
