Obviously, Beatrix and Jace were Loren’s first priorities. He’d heard his sister’s question—and her comment, obviously—and had immediately glanced around, trying to find a spot that was suitable. ”She’s not my girlfriend.” Not even his friend, really, at least not yet. Maybe soon, but given how quickly he tended to fuck these sorts of things up, he wasn’t holding his breath. ”Let’s find a comfortable spot.” With that, he began walking into the Temple, though not before scooping up his nephew and his nephew’s pack, in addition to the summoner’s own. He called on a golem to grab the sack of books. Even so, he wouldn’t be able to carry all that for long, but for now he would give his half-sister a break.
