I get knocked down, but I get up again
As the Voice explained, Loren found his brow furrowing. Before too long, though, a wicked grin spread across his lips. "Good. And thank you." He found himself laughing, though there was still that slightly hysterical edge to it. "I suppose you're right about that." Relaxing slightly, his hands uncurled from the fists he'd subconsciously formed.
Snorting, he shook his head. "I wasn't talking about the Ascended." His mind flashed back to the scene only moments before: Ronin, Remi, Morgan, and Amalia all arrayed against him. "But I appreciate your commitment to free will." It was yet another thing they had in common, apparently.
Shrugging, he scowled. "I wouldn't exactly say I endured them back there. But fuck if I know at this point." He spread his hands. "Maybe because good deeds don't stop being good just because people don't like me. Maybe because I stopped caring about their opinion of me a while ago." He snorted, knowing that last statement was a lie he told himself, though he was creeping ever closer to that point. "Or maybe it's because they are more powerful than me, and there are a lot more of them."
