LOREN
Sighing, Loren rubbed his face. "Yeah, I'll look around for him." Hesitating, he looked at Chulane and then down at the ground. Speaking in a whisper, the healer added, "But if he doesn't want to be found, we might just need to accept and respect that." He smiled, but it didn't move past his lips and it faded swiftly.
Pausing in the threshold, he nodded at the vet's question. The Firebrand's eyes widened as he saw the other luxere. Astra had no such hesitation: she bleated and immediately trotted over to Auni, settling in at her friend's side and pressing against it.
Loren approached as well, crouching down beside the two. Reaching out a hand, he softly stroked Auni's fur. Twisting, the healer sought out Chulane's gaze. "Is he..." Swallowing hard, Loren turned to stare at the luxeres. "How is he?"
