LOREN
”Ah, yes, I’ve met Phoebe. I'm sorry about her condition. Have you seen her recently?” Loren, for his part, hadn’t seen her since the snows came, and he could only hope that she wasn’t as bad as the rest of the blighted, or if she was that someone was taking care of her. Even though she’d said she’d always be alone, surely there were those in the Hollowed Grounds who would look out for her. ”I can see how that would be a mutually beneficial relationship.” The Frey the summoner had met didn’t seem like the type to care about the consequences of their actions, but he was wise enough not to say that. Blaspheming a god after narrowly escaping an encounter with them seemed like a very bad idea. As the discussion swung around to his magic, he shrugged, and made the phoenix give a cheerful chirp. ”I’ve got more magic than I used to, in many ways, so I’m content with that.” Still, it was heartening to think that he might grow stronger given time and practice.
Well, Roana at least thought his actions were noble. He noticed she didn’t say anything about the wisdom of them, however. ”I tried. I got interrupted planting the final one, but I’m going to do it first thing tomorrow.” He’d been thinking of the best place for it, but the urgency now driving him made him feel that he should just plant it where he could and hope the blighted didn’t get to it. At the mention of Safrin and Ludo, Loren’s curiosity reared its head. ”I don’t really know anything about those two, to be honest. Although Safrin is blighted, I heard, and I think it’s probably best that I don’t call upon her. What else can you tell me about Ludo?” As for not letting his guard down, well, he didn’t ever really let his guard down. However, the advice not to call upon them unless he needed something specific was genuinely useful, and he nodded gratefully to her.
