there's light at the edge of the darkness
Reading always sounded good to Loren, so he just nodded at Oliver’s comment. The Launceleyn had already explained where the book in question was to be found, and where he himself could be found if the newcomer had any questions about it. However, the question that the other man did ask was just perplexing. ”You weren’t made to do anything. Just do want you like so long as you don’t hurt other people. And everyone in Caido has magic of one sort or another. As for protecting yourself, just pick up a weapon and start practicing.” While the summoner was, himself, a weapon—or his magic was at least—he was also pretty skilled with a staff. There was nothing to say that Oliver couldn’t wield a sword, or a bow, or just his bare fists, whatever he had a knack for. "You can only find out what you can do by doing it." That was life. The Launceleyn waited patiently to see if the newcomer wanted to ask anything else.
