[Training] Bound by noisy heartbeats

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving One comes out and another approaches; Ronin hikes towards the Aumakua with his offerings in a small bag over his shoulder, his steps sure, his shoulders bare to the Longheat sun. It's been a long while since he could enjoy Torchline like this, with the season in full bloom and the islands showing off their untamed beauty. Granted, it looks a lot different than it did before the war, but some things never change. Take the lighthouse, for instance. The appearance of a figure in the doorway isn't necessarily uncommon, either, and it does fill Ronin with warmth to know that his lady of the stars receives so many visitors. Shifting his bag on his shoulder, he slows to a halt outside the shrine and offers the boy a friendly smile. "Are you on your way inside?" he asks, nodding to the shaded staircase behind him.
