LOREN
Loren opened his mouth to respond to Wessex. Then he hesitated, clearly though better of it, and closed it. Instead, he sighed and shook his head. ”No reason.” Running a hand through his hair, he looked away from her.
When she told him that she didn't need his help, he bit his lip. Still, he nodded. "Alright. Have a good night, and enjoy your reading." His voice came out quietly, with the barest hints of regret in it, though she probably didn't know him well enough to recognize them.
With that, he turned and began to walk away. Although his eyes were troubled, he didn't look back. He just kept walking until he arrived home.
