The white sheep of the family
"And would more nights with you be more than settling?" Tone challenging, Loren raised his eyebrows. At Weaver's next comment, however, he toasted, then took a long swig from his mug.

"I'm excited to find out more about the creative ways Halovians have found to keep warm." However, his brow furrowed slightly. "I must admit, I'm also very intrigued to hear about the possibility of mageglass. It was my understanding that it was a myth." He leaned forward, eyes and voice eager.
Staying right where he was when she asked a follow up question, he hesitated. For a moment, the playfulness slid away. "Asking the hard-hitting stuff right away." There was something wry and maybe a bit bitter in the words, and he traced a finger around the rim of his mug.
"When I first came to Caido, almost two years ago, I was excited about the possibilities here. Maybe a little too excited, because people...well. I...got lost. In my mind.
