LOREN
Well. It seemed they’d made some progress here, even if it kind of felt like neither of them knew what they were working towards. Still, they’d at least try to work towards it together. Hopefully that meant they’d be able to nudge the other when they veered off the correct path. As Peter went on to say that he wasn’t good at anything, Loren smiled gently at the other man. ”I wouldn’t say that. You seem pretty good at being part of a family to me.”
However, the summoner fell silent at the mention of spending time with bad people. They’d both been through that. Still, this was one of the most pleasant conversations he’d had with a family member in a long time, adopted or not. Granted, most of them were dead or gone, but even if they’d been around, he figured it would’ve been fraught and filled with cruel words and accusations. Most of which, he would deserve.
Unfortunately, while he would’ve liked to spend the day in companionable silence with Peter, Loren had work to do. ”Unfortunately, I’ve got to head out. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and seeing you around.” Although they had LongNight coming up, so all their dreams might come crumbling down. Assuming the other man didn’t need anything else, the summoner would sigh, drain his tea, then head back to start preparing for the coming darkness.

But don’t be weary if it’s broken
Families are like that—
they’re split up and always torn.
