"Wish we'd cleared that up 'fore I decided to be bait," Ronin mumbles, his head lolling unintentionally against the wendigo's shoulder. "I'd have had some opinions 'bout it. Or I'd have prepared more."

Speaking of which--

"Figured you were gone when you didn't respond," he slurs, and he'd shrug if he was able to. "Unchained on the first trip out - didn't think I'd hear from you after you didn't touch base. So I wanted to die on my terms." Electrocution is still preferable to drowning in his honest opinion.
