Turning, Loren gestured that Granger should follow. Then, assuming the boy did so, the Launceleyn would lead them to the Manor, the phoenix lighting their way and bringing them warmth. Seeing how Granger shivered, it was important to get him out of the cold as soon as possible. While the summoner could heal frostbite and hypothermia, that didn't mean that he wanted the boy to suffer it.
