there's light at the edge of the darkness
”How? What harm are you preventing?” From Loren’s standpoint, it seemed she was just experimenting because she wanted to have the knowledge, not for any higher purpose. ”No. In cases where consent cannot be given, then the closest individual to that person, either a parent or a loved one, should be consulted as to what to do. If no one else is available, then a healer should use their best judgment.” He found his fingers tapping again and stilled them. ”Those cases are interesting, yes, but they are also rare. We shouldn’t necessarily base our behavior on instances that are infrequent.” At least, he didn’t.
Again, it was a figure of speech. ”Not physically held. Held responsible.” There was a huge difference, but if she needed him to explain further, he would. Seeing as Oia’i’o didn’t reveal any more details about Halo this time, he decided to let it drop; he’d already gotten what he felt was the salient pieces of information. ”Why not luxere?” Again, this round of information was mostly just confirming what he’d already known about Halo. ”What are white dragons? What makes them distinct from other dragons, besides the color?” It was only after he asked the question that he realized he didn’t really know much about dragons, at least outside of tomes and lore.
He gave her a faint smile. ”Maybe you should.” Although the summoner couldn’t say for sure, he had a sneaking suspicion the daughter of Rae’s twin brother might have a different sense of her value than she herself did. Then again, the Launceleyn didn’t know shit, really. At her questions, she bit his lip. ”You don’t have to. And knowledge is a wonderful gift to the world.” He looked down at his lap for a moment, trying to think before he spoke for once. ”But it seems like you’re not really experiencing life, just observing it.” Something he’d worried about himself, more than once.
