Taking a sip of wine, the Launceleyn tried to stop his cheeks from flushing. Features still more than a bit chagrined, he nevertheless grinned at the white-haired man's antics. Letting out a huff of obligatory laughter at the terrible joke, Loren gave Jigano an amused look. "Twenty-three is a much more respectable prime in my opinion, gramps. But since we have to respect our elders here in Halo, I'll let you go on thinking that."
The healer shook his head at the bard's offer. "Thank you, but I have everything I need already." Still, the Launceleyn sent a pulse of gratitude to the white-haired man.
