Nodding at Amalia's explanation, Loren coughed and looked away from her. He took a sip from his tea. When a few long moments had passed with him trying to give her at least the illusion of privacy, he glanced back. "Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me all that."
Taking a bite from his stew, he grinned. "I have something that will definitely take your mind off...you know. But fair warning, it'll also probably ruin your day." He fell silent, leaning back in his chair. Regarding her, he found his foot tapping. Frowning at his leg, he placed his palm flat on it and forced it to still.
