There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher
The vet might not have realised the full extent of Loren's housing situation before now. Was the healer homeless? 'What about the Academy?' he asked automatically - forgetting already that the former Launceylon had walked away from that name and family. Did that also mean he'd left the Academy? The Chief kept going, unsure of just what sort of promises he was making.
'Not all the Naturals think that way,' he tried to reassure. But he too knew how hard it stung to hear the accusations, the vitriol that they could spin when they became incensed, unable or unwilling to cope with change when change was coming either way.
And who was Chulane to try and reassure Loren about having a home when he himself didn't feel like he had one? For so long, his home had been Kia, not anchored in a place but in a heart, and now..? Now, he didn't know what home was anymore.
'Because I came here,' he answered simply, quietly, sending soothing thoughts, despite the turmoil the memories brought up within him. If he could get the lion to sleep, he could take flight and get to Morgan quickly, and work towards a solution. This whole situation was too great for him to handle alone.
