Love mends even the broken parts
Sorrow welled up within Loren and he didn’t bother hiding it from Remi. She cares about children. Deeply. Loves them. The honey badger pawed at the ground and snarled quietly. And she thinks hurting them is the best way to prepare them to face the world. He couldn’t help the anger from rising up to replace the sadness.
However, it dissipated as the alchemist asked about what the Launceleyn was worried about. I'm worried about what the gods might do to you and the others if you don't follow their directives. They've punished you in the past for failing to fulfill their tasks. Underneath the concern there was a certainty that the alchemist couldn't just walk away from this.
Then, though, the summoner lifted his head from the other man's knee. I don't care about harm done to me, and will not retaliate in that instance. But if I have the power to prevent harm from befalling others, than I have a responsibility to intervene. There was no doubt in Loren's thoughts about that.
