The white sheep of the family
Apparently, Loren was still unclear on how to properly say Oia’io’s name. ”Sorry. I’ll work on my pronunciation.” Somehow, though, the Launceleyn had missed Oia’i’o’s twin, which was funny because she was the one who tried to blend in while Kai was the one who stood out, in more ways than one. ”Oh! Hi Kai. Didn’t see you there. And Abasi is a who, not a what. Come on, I’ll introduce you both.” Then Abasi was there, and the summoner took the other Abandoned’s hand gratefully. And if Loren stroked Abasi’s palm for a brief moment, well, neither of the twin could see that. ”Friends, I should say. Abasi, this is Kai and Oia’i’o.” The Launceleyn did a slightly better job with her name this time. He hoped.
Then the children of Rae started asking questions in that characteristic way of theirs, and the summoner released Abasi’s hand, before leaning forward to whisper in the other Abandoned’s ear. ”They’re both demi-god children of Rae and they’re a bit odd, but harmless. They’re here to observe and record everything about the Hollowed Grounds.” At least that was how the summoner understand the twins’ task. Stepping back, he was pleased to see that Abasi was well able to handle the deluge of questions. Then the team received their instructions.
Loren could definitely help with all those tasks. However, there was one he figured he was particularly well suited for. Luckily enough, he could basically be in two places at once if they needed him to tackle two tasks. For now, though, he’d hold off on that, especially because Oia’i’o was already working on the sign. Instead, he nodded at Abasi and gave him a fond smile.
Then the summoner walked over to lean on the doorway to the backroom. Once there, he tapped into his deep pool of magic and extended both hands to the alcoves. Ice flew from his fingertips and coated the stone. He kept pouring his energy into the spell as he walked from the front of the room to the back. Once each alcove had its own coating, he stood in the center and solidified the coating of ice, doing his best to cool the room. He couldn’t make it permanent, unfortunately, so he’d do his best to make it last as long as possible.
