Love mends even the broken parts
Immediately, Loren nodded in agreement. "Of course. I'll speak to them." There wasn't a hint of hesitation, and he gave Maea an understanding look.
However, it morphed it a slightly amused expression as she revealed how little she knew about boxing. "Yes. People can die from getting punched with fists. Or get concussed, or lose their teeth, or break their bones." He shrugged, honestly not bothered by the prospect so much as confused why she thought this was anything but a violent bloodsport.
As she reiterated that she and Sunjata wouldn't mind the healer's presence, he sighed. ”People keep saying that but…” His voice trailed off and he sighed. ”I just, I don’t know. Their words don’t always match their actions.” Feeling embarrassed and awkward (and no doubt looking it too), he hugged Astra again, taking comfort from her that he still felt he had no right to.
"Very few people actually seek me out for my company. Even my so-called friends. And I...I know I'm not the easiest person to get along with. And I'm sorry about that. I just...wish I didn't have to be the one putting myself out there all the time." It came out quietly, spoken more to himself than her.
Then he shook his head. "Don't worry too much about me though. I'm more used to being on my own than having other people around anyway." He tried to give her a reassuring smile though he wasn't sure how successful he was.
