run away and take me with you
"Aren't they always?" Ronin says with a smile that seems anything but happy, and it's with another long sip of his coffee that he schools himself to react in a more adult way. "My apologies," he tells Ellyra. "I'm not on the best terms with my patron these days - don't let my bitterness spoil the gift she bestowed upon you." But maybe don't ask for anything else too soon, he nearly adds, barely stopping himself.
"What shift did she give you?" he asks, forcing the sort of curiosity and smalltalk that would usually come so naturally. Perhaps one day he and the nurse can meet again, on different terms, and Ronin will be much less of a killjoy.
