LOREN
Loren smiled faintly at Oliver before the summoner stared down into his mug. ”It’d be good to talk to them, yes. But I wouldn’t sell yourself short until you’ve actually tried.” His voice came out with a gentle encouragement. On the subject of making people’s lives better, the Launceleyn looked up, eyes a little sad. ”You can try. But sometimes it’s up to them to find their own happiness. And you can’t get upset if your efforts don’t pan out as you expected them to.” There was a little bit of a warning note in his tone, though it was mostly kind.
As the other man stood up, Loren returned his nod. ”Good night, Oliver.” He watched as his fellow Abandoned left the kitchen, before he went around to douse most of the lights and returned to his cot. Astra snuggled against him and for once he fell back into a dreamless sleep.
