A flurry of questions surfaced in his mind almost leaving his lips but instead he settled on a smile. "Alright, I will check on you soon."
He waited until he heard a muffled thank you from Serena and then left her doorside. She had only requested for the letter to be brought to her after she had left the room where he had broken the news to her.
His hands felt cold, he squeezed them and rushed downstairs. Once out in one of the open courtyards he let out a long and tired sigh.

The Moonseeker was more or less a deity, casual conversations would unnerve him.
