They say blood makes you related but
loyalty makes you family
Rexanna’s gentle offer drew another smile from Loren. This one lasted a little longer. ”Probably not. I think you gave up that right when you broke out through the upstairs bathroom, ran away, and became a super hybrid.” His voice came out gently, hopefully letting her know that he appreciated her support. Also, he realized that he’d never gotten around to fixing that window. Maybe it was for the best, a reminder of what his family did now that his scars were gone. Even if it did let in drafts.
When she brought up after, however, all vestiges of his smile slipped away. While he wanted to say of course, he was done making promises he didn’t know if he could keep, for one reason or another. ”I we can.” He tried to keep the weariness, fear, and doubt from creeping into his voice, but he wasn’t sure how successful he was. Probably not very: while he knew it would be best to remain hopeful and confident, after seeing what the monsters could do and being torn down by Remi, the Launceleyn didn’t have much positive energy left in him.
Sex as a coping mechanism was basically what Frey had recommended. ”Did it help?” Somehow, although it had felt good when the god had led Loren through the best orgasm of his life, he doubted it would really cure all his worries. ”Orgy, huh? In the Hollowed Grounds?” That’s what it sounded like. Obviously he was curious to know who and where, but he wasn’t quite brave enough to ask that just yet.
Plus, it was quickly becoming apparent how much more experienced the blue-eyed woman was than the blue-eyed man. ”Glad it was all enjoyable though.” When she brought up her relationship with Bastien, however, the summoner gave her a confused look. ”A rollercoaster? What does that mean?”
