LOREN
While Loren obviously didn’t want Phoebe to feel guilt over something that was completely not her fault, he also wasn’t so sure that Roana’s concern was valid. ”I don’t know her as well as you, obviously. But I don’t know about that. I think she’s stronger than she knows.” The healer had to be, to deal with the rejection that kept getting thrown her way and still hold her head high. He simply nodded in response to Roana’s thanks.
Given that he’d seen Roana in action back in Northaven the Launceleyn knew she could take care of herself. Still, so could he: that didn’t mean it was easy to use force on those faces that were so familiar to them all. So he said nothing, just smiled sadly. Luckily, she gave an incredibly helpful explanation of the gods; Loren flashed Roana a real smile this time, grateful for more information than he’d ever received about the divine beings. ”That’s all really good to know. Thank you.” He had more questions, obviously, but he didn’t want Roana to think he was a complete imbecile (circumstances of their encounter notwithstanding).
