LOREN
Despite appearances to the contrary, Loren was still doing his actual job, at least as he saw it. Part of that was searching out new medicines, since he wasn't going to rely upon his magic for everything considering he was the only real healer in Halo (for now). Rather than Torchline, he'd decided to go explore the Greatwood.
He'd been avoiding it, he realized, for fear of painful memories. Well, in the slightly buzzed state he was in those wouldn't be a problem. So he wandered through the forest, wearing a shirt, short, and boots, eyes peeled for any unusual plants or animals. Nothing immediately jumped out at him. Astra was excited to be with him, and she was bounding to and fro happily.
For his part, he took periodic swigs from the flask he carried. The woods were confusing so he didn't even try to navigate them. Instead, he let them spit him out where they willed. It took him to a very familiar looking red pool.
Before he could turn around, however, a familiar sounding voice spoke up. Raising his eyebrows, he rounded the tree, discovering Phoebe on the other side. "Still working on that, huh?" There was something darkly amused about his voice.
