Kalynd nodded at the man's good wishes. He watched as the torch weasels scampered about. Two of them suddenly came over to him, and a smile lit Kal's face as he bent down and held out his hands.

He glanced up when Loren spoke again. It was a little surprising to him that the man seemed so intent on this, seeing as how they'd just met and there wasn't anything Kalynd could offer him.

"Um, forgive me," Kalynd said hesitantly, "But I wouldn't want to put you in a position you might later regret." He wasn't sure if the man was drunk or not, but Kal knew that if it were him in Loren's place, he wouldn't want anyone to take advantage of him.
