NERON
show me how defenceless you really are
Unnerving Loren might be, but Neron had grown up hand in hand with the younger Launceleyn until their magical talents had began (or failed) to show. And hey, Loren had caught up regardless of what anyone else thought. "Initially I thought you would make a fine ambassador in Halo. But on reflection I would rather you stayed close by where I can make sure you take care of yourself. You have a talent hardly any Launceleyn possesses. How does Grand Healer sound?" He raised an eyebrow, before dropping his gaze again to look upon Abasi.
"Oh, I have no doubt that it is very manipulative indeed, especially from an outsider's perspective. But that doesn't make it any less true. We can talk about how I have wronged you for so long once you are in more of a position to enjoy it, can we not? For now there is something more important to do." He glanced back to Loren. "We can't leave him on the floor here. Where were you planning to take him?"
