The white sheep of the family
Nodding as Weaver revealed she knew what had happened in the Fangs, Loren grimaced. "I was too caught up in the moment to realize exactly what was happening." Shaking his head a bit, he sighed. "How's he doing?" It came out in a quiet voice, but there was a great deal of concern in it.
When she counteracted his telekinesis with her air magic, his eyes narrowed slightly. Then three mice appeared on the tray. Any scone she tried to reach for would be pulled away by them as quickly as he could react.
Searching her features for a moment, he sighed. "Look, I know you have little reason to trust me, or any of us outsiders, but I am asking you to give me, and Neron, just a little bit more time. One more chance."
Pausing, he bit his lip. "And if not, I will help you with this other path." He took a deep breath. "I can assure you that the secrets he is keeping are of a personal nature, not anything to do with Halo." Of course, as Warden, what Neron did impacted Halo. But the healer would not break his brother's confidence.
Much more softly, Loren added, "He has his scars from our family too, no matter how he tries to hide or deny it. His secrets...they're his way of coping with them." It was all the explanation she'd get for now.
