Thankfully, Loren was deep enough in his meditation that Deimos’ soft question wasn’t enough to startle the summoner out of it. Indeed, he just breathed in and out evenly. ”Peace, quiet, and focus.” With that he closed his eyes and took another breath. And another.
Only then did he open them and turn his full attention to the water. This time, while he still proceeded slowly and cautiously, he also proceeded confidently. Maybe that made the difference, or maybe it was simply a matter of practice. Regardless, when he nudged the river with his magic, it began to flow in the direction he commanded at the speed he desired. Indeed, it flowed easily into the pipes that Deimos had set up, and before too long began sprinkling onto the fields at a slow, but steady rate, one that would enrich the fields rather than drown or wash them away.
Standing up, a triumphant smile on his face, the Launceleyn stretched his body, then turned to the other two men. "Thank you both for your help. I think that's enough for the day. I'll work on the rest of the improvements some other time." Giving the General a firm nod, Loren turned to Abasi, a fond smile on the summoner's face.

Never judge a book by its cover.
