WISE MEN WONDER WHILE STRONG MEN DIE
"So I have heard," Neron murmured, continuing down the sidestreet and nodding to a few passers-by en route to the marketplace. "If the creatures that torment the Grounds could stay on that side of the portal, we at the Citadel would very much appreciate it. Halo is dangerous enough." The cold alone made every trip out into the Tundra akin to a mini-Longnight, in his personal opinion. Nodding, as if to confirm that Loren would one day hear the tale, Neron happily changed the subject back onto his brother.
(And what an unusual thought it was, to want to hear of Loren's escapades).
Ah, the Zariah trifuckta - treason, disowning and threats of murder. Neron was utterly gobsmacked (not). And as Loren continued, the Warden actually snorted in amusement - such presumptions made, on the part of his family and otherwise. "Listen, Loren. I don't know what you have been told, but whoever it was Zariah married and bred with, it wasn't this Neron Launceleyn. I have no wife and I have no child. And for the safety of the boy, you will not repeat what you just said to me to anyone in Halo." He frowned across at his twin.
"Whatever it suits Zariah to believe, let her. I am telling you there is a place for you here." He shrugged. "As for what it is, since the portal to Halo opened I have heard nothing but begging and whining for something known as Mageglass. Do you know what that is?"
