The white sheep of the family
Loren just laughed outright at Weaver's question. "It's working out pretty well so far." Lips twitching in amusement, he picked up another scone for himself. "Considering my current reputation seems to be 'who the fuck do these outsiders think they are,' pretty much everything is uphill from here." However, his tone was amused, not annoyed.
Taking a bite, he chewed and swallowed before responding to her. "If I say that I never sleep, is that bad?" Shrugging, he ran his free hand through his hair. "Say what you will about my family, and I do mean that, but I drove myself very, very hard to make myself perfect in everything I found myself having to do." However, despite his attempt at humor, he found himself smiling a bit sadly.
As she mentioned people's propensity to complicate things, he nodded reluctantly in agreement. Then he gave her a rueful smile. "You know, Frey asked me what my aspirations were." Letting out a huff of laughter, he shook his head. "I told them I wanted to do right by the people of Halo and start a family. Pretty humble goals, if you ask me."
