LOREN
"It's scary every year. I understand, though." Loren smiled encouragingly at Oliver. "But the vast majority of Grounders survived hundreds of LongNights, even without all these options."
As the other hybird explained why Safrin might be upset, the healer frowned. "She's the herald of life. Wouldn't she be happy you're preserving your life by getting out of a dangerous situation?" His confusion was evident.
Releasing the other man, the Launceleyn nodded. Keeping one hand on Oliver's shoulder, Loren gave his fellow hyrbid a gentle squeeze. "I will, and I will." Astra bleated, and the healer let out a huff of laughter. "Don't worry, she'll be plenty spoiled this Deepfrost." He reached down to ruffle her hair affectionately.
Then he gave the other man one last wave goodbye. With that, the Launceleyn went on to his last set of errands before the snows made travel impossible.
