The white sheep of the family
At Abasi’s words, Loren smiled a bit abashedly. ”I know. I’m still just not used to people...caring for me, that way.” Despite the awkwardness of the words, there was a great deal of gratitude in them.
The undertaker’s question actually startled a bark of laughter from the summoner, though just one. ”Yes. I think I would say I completed that particular um, task.” Cheeks flushing with embarrassment (and a bit of heat as images of what they’d done together flashed through his mind) he took a sip of tea.
When the other man stated in no uncertain terms that he did not wish to go to Halo, the Launceleyn bit his lip. However, he gave Abasi's hand a gentle squeeze. Loren also gave the undertaker an understanding nod. "I don't know what I need, really." A smile blossomed on the summoner's lips, though. "But I know what I want. And...it's that life. With you. Being with you." He stroked his thumb across the other man's knuckles. "Maybe that's what I need, too." There was an almost earnest hope in the Launceleyn's voice.
