LOREN

Wessex came to a stop and Loren stumbled to a halt behind her. The questions were expected, as was the anger in her voice, so he kept his gaze lowered, his face expressionless, and his voice low and devoid of anything resembling emotion. She might have been cold, but he was frigid. ”I went to show them the Spark Bird. They denied me entrance and refused to let me demonstrate, but I decided to show them anyway, since I thought they deserved to see what we thought was the best defense against the monsters on the off chance they made it out to the Fae village.” That was the truth, and while it might not have been his wisest decision, he wouldn’t have changed it. Besides, further apologies or excuses wouldn’t get him anywhere. If Wessex decided to punish him further, so be it. He probably deserved it.
