Loren nodded. "I've met him." Giving Sam a slightly hesitant look, the healer ran a hand through his hair. "He's supposedly one of The Voice's failed creations." It came out softly, as if he wasn't certain how the Ascended would react to hearing the Prince was a prototype, abandoned and alone.
Raising a hand, the Launceleyn removed a glove. For just a moment, claws replaced his fingertips. "The old gods answer Abandoned as well." Lowering his hand, he shrugged. "And I've been told that The Voice wouldn't share her power easily or willingly with an Abandoned, unless they were willing to Ascend like Rexanna did." He studied Sam's features. "That she does not wish to create another like her, someone she can't control." It was quiet, and not accusatory, simply laying out the facts.
Although the healer let the Ascended squeeze the Launceleyn's hand, he brought it to his chest and rubbed it nervously afterwards. "I...yes. Not exactly the right impression." It came out a little guilty, and he closed his eyes briefly.
Opening them, he bit his lip. "They were...are...not good people. Myself included." The words were spoken barely above a whisper, more to himself than to the other man.
