They say blood makes you related but
loyalty makes you family
”Great! It’d be nice to have someone go with me for once.” Loren’s encounter with the blighted Melita hardly counted. ”And while of course none could rival Astra for kindness and beauty, they’re nice enough. As long as you bring them apples and hay. And uh, sing to them.” That last part came out a bit embarrassed and he ran a sheepish hand through his hair; his singing voice was nothing to write home about, but at least the luxere liked it. And they also liked his magic, though obviously that wasn’t something Evie could help him with.
Grinning at Evie's response to his self-deprecating humor the summoner held up his hands in a sign of surrender. ”Alright. If only to protect those poor innocent people from head wounds, and make less work for both of us, I will let you tell them I am kind.” Loren liked this woman, he decided. They had similar temperaments, it seemed, and anyone who was both a healer and treated Astra as well as the woman did was good people in his book.
It really was literally nothing to him, or close enough to make no difference. ”Well. I guess I’ll just have to make you more jars then, just so you can see that I am telling the truth. Wouldn’t want you to go around telling people I’m kind, but also kind of a liar.” Plus, if she cherished them, it would be good for him to make more. Besides, it would help her help other people. As she went on to speak about the college, he tilted his head and gave her a curious look. While he would’ve loved to know the story, he wasn’t going to pry. ”Alright. Well, thanks for offering up your expertise! I’ll try not to badger you too much.” He figured he’d probably just get most of the answers about medicine at the college, but maybe he’d swing by just to say hello every once in a while.
