LOREN
As Chulane explained Loren shifted into a cross-legged seat. Turning his head so he could listen, he nodded. "Good. I'm glad the two of you found each other." One hand still on Auni, the healer placed the other on Astra, who wriggled and bleated before settling down. "Sometimes I think we don't deserve them." He spoke under his breath.
Giving Auni the attention and affection he so obviously craved, the Firebrand's eyes tightened. "They're resilient." Pausing, he added, "Most things are, given time."
Standing up, he brushed his hands against his thighs. "Can I make you some tea or something?" While he waited for the vet to respond Loren made his way to the fire. Kneeling, he poked the embers and added kindling and then logs, building it back up to a merry blaze.
