LOREN
Loren’s fingers tapped a more rapid beat against his thighs as Abasi continued speaking. ”I don’t think it makes you a monster or a brute.” The words came out quietly, and yet they were half-choked.
Finally, the summoner took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. "Can we have this conversation somewhere a little more private?" He glanced around at the happy dancers, the sunny Fiat Lux for now, a totally inappropriate setting for the discussion that the undertaker apparently wanted to have.
Assuming the other man was amenable, the summoner would lead them away from the dance floor. Finding a hidden spot tucked between two currently unmanned stalls, he ducked into it. It was a little cramped, especially because the Launceleyn was still reluctant to touch Abasi. Still, Loren studied the undertaker's features. ”Were you ever a slave?” The question came out barely above a whisper.
