Loren watched the twins as they continued on their stroll. The smile found its way back to his lips as he did, especially when he noticed how many of the orbs they stepped on. Stroking Astra with one hand, he waited until they were out of sight.
Then he took another deep breath. He glanced at the world one last time, trying to draw its seeming serenity to him like a cloak. Although he was less successful than before, he didn't mind, because he'd gotten answers that he hadn't expected and probably didn't deserve.
Turning, he faced the direction of the Citadel and started marching towards it. A new day had dawned and he had work to do.
