Loren hadn’t seen Ashetta since Leafchange, and had no idea who Kalt was, so the summoner just shrugged. ”I’m not counting on it.” Indeed, he’d only rely upon those he’d spoken to or heard about since Deepfrost. Everyone else would just be a happy (or unhappy, as the case might be) surprise. Unsurprisingly, Jigano caught the Launceleyn’s unhappy sound, but he just shook his head. ”It’s not important.” Either his magic would work or it wouldn’t. As he’d known all along, there was only one way to test it.
As the discussion shifted to the feather, and the white-haired man offered to lend a lantern, Loren’s eyebrows rose. ”Can you describe the lantern in detail?” It was entirely possible he’d be able to create it. He’d definitely only use it as a weapon as a last resort, given how volatile it was. ”If I need to, I can direct it with my telekinesis. I’d rather not, though, since the Spire Demon exploded and I imagine it would be quite unfortunate if the monsters did the same. From what I understand, however, its light it useless against the monsters. As was the light of the antler they tried to remove from a regular luxere.” Telekinesis was a much safer bet, since, since he knew it worked; however, he’d also been told that the feather alone would not emit magical light.
However, Jigano’s comment about the red antlers was sobering: they had nothing to protect their minds, just their senses. And even then, not all of those. The Launceleyn tried not to let it show how much that bothered him as they placed down their latest set of carpets and began the trip downstairs for another round. "Hopefully." He didn't like relying on hope or on faith.

Never judge a book by its cover.
