"Yes." He supposed since they were having the conversation now, he may as well say the specific people who had spoken to him about Loren. "I have...heard things from both Phoebe and Remi...not anything too awful. Phoebe seemed to wish to warn me about you. Remi...do you two have a past of some kind?"
Their fingers knitted together and Abasi smiled back to Loren. "They are the only merits you deserved to be judged on. I believe if you continue to show people who you are, you may have to grow used to more compliments." Sometimes, he could stumble across a sweet thing to say, even if he meant it entirely seriously and factually.
"I have been the happiest of my life in this manor. My old life was full of extreme, crushing responsibility. I managed it, but I was not living. Here I have seen the value of having time to breathe and work with others. And...you, of course. Before I had always assumed I would die alone with my work, not having had time for something like romance." He'd scarcely expected to ever kiss anyone. Abasi was sure from what he knew of Caido Loren was not any kind of divine gift, but he felt like one.

Do not raise up intimate companions
For nothing is to be gained from them
Let your own heart be watchful over you
