things and how they seem

oia

This is surprising and you're right to be skeptical (if only because things absolutely hadn't transgressed the way that the story had been told). "The herald commanded that?" Instantly you're writing again, albeit in an different section of your book. Rather than being distressed by this as you likely should be, instead you're fascinated and intrigued. "Obviously that did not happen. What did? How did this come about?"

Warned though you were, Loren's past trauma was not a reason for you to change your experiments. Friendship was not in your vocabulary, nor was the the sort of care and concern that a conversation of this length would normally have conferred from you to the summoner. "That is the point of having it be unknown to you. It is no surprise you reacted poorly when you knew it was coming, or that it wasn't real."

You watch the birds disappear with a frown. That Loren is still mostly unclothed has mostly slipped your mind, uninterested in the forms of human-animals as you are. "Because of the portals." You reply easily enough.

of course it's exhausting, having to reason all
the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable.
