LOREN
Hesitating, Lorens shifted his weight awkwardly from side to side. Finally, he tentatively reached out to try and lay a gentle hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to be sad and lonely alone, you know. This isn't a sex thing, just, you know, friends and all that." His tone came out understandably awkward.
"That's true. I'd argue that the dumb and irrational are the ones who are likely to have the strongest opinions, though." Obviously his voice was self-deprecating, though any hints of humor soon faded. "So I'm told too. I'm still waiting." His fingers dipped into his pocket before he remembered he'd finished his flask and he just clasped his hands in front of him instead.
At her one word response, he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Why?" He spread his arms a bit helplessly.
