LOREN
Loren was the king of unnecessary apologies, so he very much knew one when he heard one. And Abasi was sick, which was not at all his fault. That was doubly true if it was the blight, which they didn’t really know anything about, let alone how it spread. However, the other man’s words took the Launceleyn about. ”No. Don’t say that. You don’t even know anything about this world. How can you possibly know it’s awful if you haven't explored it?” Loren had already lost so many people, and he refused to give up even if Abasi already had. ”I know you didn't have the best start here, but I can show you there is beauty and goodness in this world, if you'll let me. If nothing else, promise me to wait until the cure works?” Because it would work. The summoner had to believe that even if no one else did. He squeezed the other man's shoulder, hoping to reassure him that he was not alone.A beggar's book
