habits have teeth and words have knives

Well, while Loren could understand the ex-captain’s desire for her belongings to stay within her family, he wasn’t sure that would fly with Deimos or Wessex. Still, probably easier to make the arrest and then sort out the possessions later on. Assuming the general didn’t have any objections, he’d leave everything other than the sword with the boys. The mention of Ludo’s treasure box gave the Launceleyn pause; however, he would follow Deimos’ lead here. Loren remained as quiet as Roana sent her boys off to fetch their things. Honestly, the Launceleyn was surprised at how civilly this whole process was proceeding. The three boys were remarkably well behaved, all things considered. In their shoes, the summoner would’ve been much more frantic. Taking the blade the ex-captain proffered, Loren strapped it to his waist with practiced movements. Turning to the general (and his back to Roana), the summoner lowered his voice so that only Deimos could hear. ”She has a ring that emits light as well. I don’t know of any other items.” With that, Loren turned to the children. ”Come. I’ll take you to your Aunt.” Assuming the general didn’t need the Launceleyn for the actual arrest, he would turn and lead the boys over to Phoebe. This was going to suck for everyone involved.
