Loren paused, and gave Jigano a sympathetic look. ”An unhappy history, I take it?” Letting out a sigh, the summoner ran a hand through his hair. Then, though, he grinned. ”Well. Longheat was a long time ago. And people around here are pretty forgiving.” His tone and expression softened. ”I know Deimos hates to talk. But maybe it might be worth a shot, trying to talk to him.” Still, there was more than a bit of uncertainty in the Launceleyn’s voice.
At the mention of Wessex, however, Loren’s lips tightened and he gave the bard an unhappy look. ”She bit me before LongNight, because I gave her the magic to protect people for the monsters. Before the gods intervened. Maybe it was just residual, since the magic had already been given to her in that form, and the gods couldn’t get to it.” He shrugged, not really sure if that was the real answer or not.
Unfortunately, the comment about the former Queen was enough to dampen even the summoner’s joy about the rediscovered phoenix. Waving a hand, he dismissed it. ”I certainly don’t know. But yes, you should update them. I’d be happy to help.” Subconsciously, he hugged himself.
