Loren just shook his head sadly. "Oh I've done plenty of reckless things. Enough to know better." However, his expression was guilty. "But...I get it. I just...gods." He took a deep breath to try and control himself, even though he knew it was futile.
When Weaver's tone and expression and posture all changed, he looked at her. Really looked at her, noting the signs of her own sorrow. Reaching out, he tried to lay a comforting hand on her shoulder. "May she burn brightly." It came out with the intonation of a prayer.
Shaking his head, he rubbed his hands together anxiously. "Nothing specific. Just figured someone should...come here before Zariah tossed everything." For a moment his sorrow was replaced with anger at his cousin and her callousness. That too faded quickly.
Sliding down the wall, he sat next to her. Slinging an arm over her shoulder, he sighed. "Everyone keeps telling me the best way to honor the dead is to be the best version of myself. To live life fully and all that." His tone indicated how much he doubted that particular advice.
