LOREN
Loren shook his head firmly at Zariah’s words. ”No. They’re not. Unless you believe them to be.” Then he sighed, and gave her a sympathetic look. ”But I understand why you think that.” His voice came out quietly.
As she grew angry, he remained calm, radiating what peace he could, even though he knew she couldn’t feel it. ”No. I think we were victims of a terrible circumstance.” Clasping his hands behind his back, he tilted his head. ”Alright. Why does that make you angry?” His tone remained level. As some mud attempted to escape her much more forceful lightning, he snapped more water at it, herding it back.
Then, however, he spread his hands helplessly. ”Who is trying to enslave us?” He was genuinely confused by that claim. Returning one hand to Astra, Loren tried to stay steady as well as comfort the luxere.
However, a hurt expression crossed his face at his accusation, though he quickly schooled his features into a neutral mask. ”That’s not true. We’ve all suffered, I know that.” His tone was filled with sorrow and regret, though his features and his eyes didn’t betray his feelings.

But don’t be weary if it’s broken
Families are like that—
they’re split up and always torn.
