there's light at the edge of the darkness
Thankfully, through some combination of physical prowess, magical skill, or just pure, dumb luck, Loren managed to catch Ianto. Unfortunately, the cardinal did not rise as the summoner healed the other man, so the Launceleyn ceased his spell and bit his lip. While he knew the ideal thing to do would be to leave and make sure the bird-man was alright by getting him away from the foul odor, the summoner didn’t know if he’d get another chance to view the Prince.
Which meant he’d have to make this quick. Amalia hadn’t seemed to notice what was going on behind her; while he was loathe to interrupt her gentle coaxing, he knew she needed to hear about Ianto. So Loren spoke in as low a whisper as he could manage. ”Ianto fainted, so I should take him somewhere safe. But I wanted to try healing the Prince before I go.” Astra, forgotten by this writer in the hustle and bustle, had retreated a safe distance down the tunnel and watched them all anxiously.
