”Your brother must have stayed behind, married Zariah and had a son,” Neron mutters, a smirk curling at one corner of his mouth. ”This one is here, though, and he’s running quite the successful tavern, if I do say so myself.” Even if there was already talk of something else creeping up to get under their skin. Gods and monsters, Caido was full of them. Neron has rolled with those punches, and he’s railed against them. Neither works, he has found.
Raising his glass in a hear, hear gesture, he grins and takes a healthy sip of the vodka, not that it does much. ”You never know, one day your drama might be rewarded. Judging by the state of you right now, however, I doubt that.” Scarred and burned and covered in soot and blood - Loren does not look the picture of returning hero.
He considers his twin’s questions with a swirl of the alcohol in his glass, catching the patterns that dance on the surface with the light. ”Well,” he says slowly. ”If the Climb is as hellish and deserted as they say, it’s no wonder that this Tanau didn’t show his face much. Eirachi can play with us here - I imagine that’s why she’s so active. Either the others are in places we don’t know about yet, or they’re keeping a low profile. Perhaps they don’t care for mortals?”
