Raising a brow at Loren's confusion, the alchemist waited for the man to figure it out, before nodding. "I think she thought...that perhaps there was something between you two." He said ruffling a hand through his curls to dismiss some of the feathers threatening to appear there. "And with everything that happened between her and Sunjata, and her and Lusea..." Though...it was entirely possible Loren didn't actually know the extent of it.
