They say blood makes you related but
loyalty makes you family
Loren tilted his head, giving Sunjata a curious look. ”Should I now? Got a favorite?” If the romance was just the tip of the iceberg then of course the summoner was going to be curious about what else Sunjata might reveal. However, when he mentioned that he used to be quite the heartbreaker, the Launceleyn barely prevented himself from commenting that it seemed that the other man still might be, given what happened with Phoebe.
At the mention of Sunjata’s encounter with Frey, Loren paused. The summoner had not yet met any of the gods—only seen them from a distance and heard about their blessings and curses and how hard it was to tell one from the other—so he was always fascinated to hear about other’s experiences with the divine beings. ”How’d that go?” Considering that Sunjata was not flirting with the Launceleyn and considering that the other man was not complaining about his love getting ripped away it was probably a decent enough interaction.
Pausing, Loren considered the other man’s question carefully. The summoner hadn’t really seen much of either world, but he’d describe them as best he could. ”Northwind was a world at war and Northaven was a world under siege. I spent most of my time in the former training on my family’s estate. In Northaven...well, there was a city surrounded by a wall. And outside the wall there was a jungle, with strange natives, terrible monsters, deadly curses, and a mysterious and vengeful Goddess who disliked the interlopers in her land. Unless you went to sea. Then there were giant fishes and sea serpents to contend with.” So no great options there, really.
