LOREN
Turning to a separate page, Loren furious took down the information about spirits. Then he looked up and gave Delphia a little smile. ”Fascinating. If they’re without form how do they balance Caido?”The smile slipped away. ”Why don’t you think it’s pertinent? If you knew how the cat sith waylaid souls, perhaps you could design a countermeasure to prevent them from doing so rather than being forced to rescue them after the fact.” The confusion was evident on his face and in his voice.
His jaw dropped at the demi-god’s next bit of explanation. ”Wait. The Greatwood is sentient?” Closing his mouth, he found his foot tapping furiously. It stopped as he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Frowning, he turned troubled eyes to the daughter of Mort. "So you don't know how to locate the souls of the Ascended or how they're being stored."
He squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath before opening them. "How could a soul be consumed? I'm asking because if we knew that, we could disrupt the process and starve her, saving the souls in the process." However, his tone was more than a bit uncertain.
