Smiling a little sadly, Loren gave Sam a sympathetic look. "That's good. Though I'm sorry to hear you didn't have the best relationship with your actual mother." The last part of the healer's statement came out a bit uncertainly. Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair. "What...what is it like interacting with The Voice?" It came out slightly hesitantly, and softly.
Nodding, he shrugged. "They made us, though." Rubbing his hands together a bit awkwardly, he bit his lip. "I can't imagine you've been called ignorant, dull, and unexciting by the gods, though. Or cursed." There wasn't really any bitterness in his voice, just a sad tone.
Looking over at the Ascended, the Launceleyn studied the other man's features for a moment. "You seem oddly comfortable with magic for a Natural." There was a question lurking in Loren's voice.
Then it was his turn to reach out. Though his expression was horrified at Sam's admission, the healer laid a hand on the Ascended's shoulder and gave it a gentle and comforting squeeze. "I'm sorry. That they did that to you. And..you seem plenty fine to me." Swallowing, the Launceleyn let his hand slip back to his side. "Do you wish that they...hadn't?"
