LOREN
At Remi’s words, Loren stiffened almost imperceptibly. Still, he walked into the back of the shop without his face betraying anything but the void where his heart used to be. ”Sorry to intrude. I forgot to mention it earlier, but I can store my creatures in amulets. So if you wanted to prepare some for LongNight, I came to offer my services.” The summoner did his best to keep his tone businesslike; while the alchemist might be a wreck, and it might even be the Launceleyn’s fault, anything Loren did or said would just make it worse. Best to disabuse the other man that there was any chance at salvaging a relationship. Even if it hurt Remi now, it would be better in the long run.
But don’t be weary if it’s broken
Families are like that—
they’re split up and always torn.
