Loren tilted his head, though his eyes glittered with amusement. ”How would that work? Would the ice heal people, or would I just heal people in the igloo?” Tone still bemused, he shrugged at Jigano. ”Honestly, I think just telling them there’s a book about all the flora and fauna in the Hollowed Grounds, and mentioning that if they join the Loreseekers they’ll get to discover similar volumes might do the trick.” Voice only a little uncertain, the summoner glanced at the bard.
At the explanation about the squirrels, the Launceleyn eyed them with a newfound respect. ”I’m curious what world you come from where bows are considered simple tools, especially when wielded by rodents.” His tone was gently teasing, and the corners of his lips twitched and his eyes crinkled.
Again, Loren blushed a furious shade of crimson at the white-haired man’s insinuations. ”The transition from his world to this one was rough, not least because he was blighted. I offered him a place to stay, and nursed him during his illness. The rest was...unexpected. For both of us.” Tone still half-choked, the summoner pressed his lips together.
He calmed a bit as Jigano spoke of Rory and the farm. The Launceleyn even smiled faintly. ”I remember planting season well. If either of you need help with anything, let me know. It’s been a while, but I still remember how to farm.” There was a slightly self-deprecating tone in Loren’s voice.

Never judge a book by its cover.
