LOREN
Sighing, Loren's eyes trailed to where the companions had run off too. Unbidden, his hand came up to rub his throat. "Astra was there." Looking at Phoebe, he bit his lip. "And I couldn't do that to her." It came out softly, a quiet acknowledgement how truly little he had to live for.
Luckily, she took the flash from him. At her little show, he snorted, though he gave her a knowing look. "Don't worry, I'm not one of those former nobles." Then he raised his eyebrows. "If you're really that concerned, I'll take a sip too." He held out his hand, fully intending to follow through on his word.
