there's light at the edge of the darkness
Phoebe’s laughter drew a brief smile from Loren. Apparently, she thought he was funny now. When she asked about who was staying at the Temple, though, he gave her a considering look as he ran through everyone he’d seen. ”I don’t know how many you consider a lot, but space is certainly limited. I was just thinking that we might want to relocate some of them to the College. With your permission, of course.” Actually, he probably could just do it anyway, but avoiding fights during LongNight seemed wise.
Again, she brought up how a midwife made her particularly sensitive to emotions. Seeing as he’d gotten his empathy from needing to know when he was about to be tortured, he wasn’t all that happy with the comparison. Nor was he happy with her description of the tea. In fact, he shook his head at her immediately. ”I need to stay alert.” Plus, he didn’t know half the ingredients she listed, and that many herbs all together couldn’t possibly have just one side effect. Astra, at least, was happily ensconced with the triplets for now.
