loren
The bear was enough to lift Loren out of the pit. Not quite in the mood to laugh at Ingrid’s joke, the summoner simply stared at Jigano. Then the Launceleyn stared at the map. Finally, he nodded. It looked dicey there for a while, with Ingrid crossing the chasm, but she made it across without incident.
Dismissing the bear, he fell in at the back of the group. This time, Amalia and Deimos took the lead, and Loren trailed behind them. The baker and the General went to the right, taking their light with them, so the summoner followed a short distance behind.
It gave him a chance to whisper to Ingrid, at least. "Zariah is Neron's distant cousin, actually. It's important for you to know that she was cruel to many during her brief reign of the Hollowed Grounds. So I'd be careful who you mention her too." He gave the other new Loreseeker a friendly smile. "Thanks for the information." Then he shifted to a honey badger and prowled ahead closer to the rest of the group, hoping this form would give him some more protection when the next danger inevitably revealed itself.
