LOREN
Loren had been neglecting his studies. Not that there was much to study at the moment: the Caido Medical College had hosted one class, which had been on emergency field medicine, and he’d attended it. Since then, there’d been no news about further lessons. However, he figured that while he waited he could at least help out the College in another way. Which was why, when he’d found a free moment—which happened after the sun had set—he found himself standing outside the college, staring at the coating of mud on the building. They’d need to undo a lot of the work they’d done in fortifying the school for LongNight, but that seemed like a task for someone who could manipulate stone and earth. Or at least break down doors and walls and move heavy objects and furniture (which the Launceleyn couldn’t, given his summoning was still a mystery to him). Instead, the summoner was playing with his new magic.
It was easy to create water and direct it to wash the outside of the building. However, the mud was as stubborn here as it was everywhere else, and his brows furrowed in concentration as he did his best to deter it from somehow creeping back into place. He was so focused on his task that he wasn’t really paying attention to his surroundings.
