Pressing his lips together, Loren sighed. "Sorry, friend." Standing he clasped Jigano's hand firmly. "I was hoping for a slightly better goodbye than this." Smiling apologetically, the healer let go of the bard. The Launceleyn ran his other hand through his hair, a nervous gesture.
Astra, sensing, his discomfort and seeing the white-haired man preparing to leave, trotted over to them. Pressing herself against Loren for a moment, she moved on to do the same to Jigano, bleating a goodbye as she did. Then she went back to Isuma to give the luxere's fellow companion a proper sending off.
For the healer's part, he tried to grin. "I'll see you in Flowerbirth, gramps. And stay safe yourself." Despite the awkwardness, he was determined to part on as good a note as he could.
