LOREN
Loren nodded at Phoebe’s observation about the tapestries. Although he didn’t know if she actually seen them, or was just guessing, she was right on the money. At her next comment, however, the summoner shook his head. ”A person’s actions speak to their character.” And he’d made so many poor choices, wrong decisions, acted so rashly, that he couldn’t in good conscience call himself a good person.
Now he had another mistake to add to his list: summoning wolves simply to chase away some hiccups. Pim’s lightning was a surprise, and the Launceleyn ducked out of the way, throwing himself to the ground. Luckily, the dragon’s strike hit only stone. Of course, the healer had also hit the wall, and immediately Loren scrambled to his feet and hurried over to Phoebe, healing magic already at his fingertips. Assuming she didn’t stop him, he would lay a hand that glowed a soft-sky blue on her head, banishing whatever injury she’d received because of him. ”Sorry! I’m sorry! I was trying to startle the hiccups away.” His voice was filled with both horror at what he’d done and a great deal of contrition.

they’re split up and always torn.
