LOREN
Not privy to the thoughts swirling in Chulane's mind (though they wouldn't be hard to guess), Loren just smiled and shook his head at the vet's words. "Don't worry about it. I basically invited myself over and no one is expecting you to be a gracious host at the moment."
Standing up from the fire, the healer meandered over to the kitchen. He called over his shoulder as he did. "Tea is fine. Don't worry, I'll make it."
Puttering about, he waved a hand over the kettle and employed a touch of his water magic. It immediately started whistling. Reaching into his belt pouch he pulled out a packet of leaves and dumped them into the filter of the teapot. Pouring the water over it, he left it to steep.
As it did, he opened cabinets, eventually pulling out two mugs, a tray, some cream, and some sugar. He also found an apple, which he cut into two. Once the tea was ready, he put everything on the tray and brought it back out to the other man. "Chamomile. Hope that's alright." He set one of the mugs in front of the other man.
Then Loren took the apple halves. Placing one in front of both of the luxere he smiled at them. Astra nosed Auni's closer then gobbled up her own. The healer let out a huff of laughter before going to sit on a chair near the couch. Perching on the edge of it he wrapped his fingers around his own mug.
