there's light at the edge of the darkness
The newcomer’s gratitude was a bit effusive and unnecessary. ”You’re welcome.” It had a bed, so for Loren that was extravagant: he’d spent most of his childhood in a cell or dropped off in the wilderness, which is why he slept on a cot. The feather mattresses were too comfortable. However, he supposed he was glad Oliver liked it.
As the other man brought up LongNight, the Launceleyn shifted uneasily. ”From what I’ve heard, if the monsters catch you they don’t leave much to be healed.” That, combined with the fact that the summoner needed to touch someone to use his magic made it far less useful than he would like. Indeed, it seemed like it would do nothing to help them over the period of darkness. Thankfully, the conversation progressed to the newcomer’s tattoo’s. Loren peered at them curiously and clinically. ”Compass, rose, and hummingbird. Left upper arm, collarbone, right chest. They all looked fairly well done, with decently advanced tools, though the order I listed them is the order of both intricacy and age. Is this ringing any bells?” Neither the images nor the placement did anything for the Launceleyn, obviously. Hopefully Oliver might have better luck.
