Neron was used to being dismissed, though not by his twin, and he watched Loren carefully as he took the unicorn horn. It's warmth suffused his hands, seeking out the burns he'd received and soothing them back to something manageable, if not wiping them away altogether. How very useful. "Thank you," he said to his brother, returning the item and rolling his shoulders.
"If you insist. Halo it is - I hope to see you there soon," he said, heading for the door. Loren's gratitude was unexpected but Neron appreciated it regardless, and he nodded. "Always," he said. Then he turned and was gone, leaving silence in his wake.
