Ronin nods at that - gentle, distracted, but he understands entirely the point Sunjata makes. It isn't just about keeping The Family from getting any further advantages; it's about trying to keep their own, few and far between as they might be. Then he feels the quiet lash of emotion through the bond, the Knight blinking a few times as he glances to his friend and the way his mind contorts his face, however briefly, before settling. Of course it is, he says quietly, leaning in to nudge him gently with his shoulder.

Sorry, if I made it sound like it wasn't. Look, if you want in on this fight with Dahlia, you gotta tell me. I'm not in charge of anyone, Jata - I haven't been for a long time. It doesn't have to happen when everyone goes to Starfall. We can take things one step at a time. Gods know they're running out of time, but that doesn't mean they ought to act without thinking.

Which brings him to Pierce's party, and he waves a hand as if to stop himself from getting too far ahead with plans that haven't even had a chance to fully be ideas yet. As good as the mental image is, let's not be hasty. There will be a lot of innocent people there, and I've suffered enough collateral damage for a lifetime.

If he really thought about it longer than he has, Sunjata might get the distinct sensation of how it felt to be on the Ascended side of the war - when all of the relics had been snatched up by those from the Old Gods. That helpless feeling that no matter what you did, you never quite had enough. But they do have this, and for this, Sunjata can’t help but to latch onto it with everything he had.

Ronin nudges his shoulder and it distracts him from those spiraling thoughts, looking back over toward his friend with a bit of understanding flooding through the attuned bond when he nods and throws back another decent sip of the whiskey Ronin had poured. After, there’s the sensation of a deep breath in the bond, one that has him smiling a touch. I do want in. I want to make her drown for all the shit she put us through. He admits, tone drifting darker, revenge coating it beautifully.

As for Pierce’s party, Sunjata nods and feels all the wind slip from his sails, spinning the glass on the polished counter as he peers back at it. I’ll come prepared in case there is a fight, how’s that? He decides, because it couldn’t hurt to be overtly prepared, especially with it being the first time he sees a member of the Family since being cleansed.

Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.

Their bond grows shadow-slick with Sunjata's thirst for revenge, and though Ronin has been doing his best as of late to keep his head above those dark waters, he can't stop the small, grim smile that curls at the corners of his lips as he raises his glass for a drink. Then whatever we decide and whenever we decide it, I'll make sure there's a place for you, he says. In the meantime, I guess we just have to get through this party and the next stage of Starfall...

Letting out a long sigh that ends in a scoff of laughter at the Flood's final quip, Ronin shrugs his shoulders companionably and leans across to clink his glass against the other man's again. "That's how I've been living my life for the past year or so, it feels," he says aloud at last, tipping him a wink. "Can't hurt, right? After all this, though, I wonder if we can find some remote island where anyone who's had enough can go on an extended vacation."

I appreciate it, Ronin. At least it would be a decent balm for the fact that he’s getting tagged in. The prospect of taking out Dahlia was one that was almost mouth watering in the Flood’s urge to give in. But he’s smart enough to know that the time and place would make all the fucking difference.

So, feeling the clink of Ronin’s glass against his, Sunjata’s smile is a touch lopsided and easier now than it had been before, downing another sip and exhaling a sigh of bewilderment - just in case Vox was listening to this portion. “I’m hoping I’ll have time to do the things I actually wanna do for the region. Not just whatever’s most threatening at the time.” Heaving a dramatic sigh, Sunjata’s shoulders slump a touch as he thinks about it. “We’ve been doing well though, I think, for as baby of a region as we are.” If nothing else, the Flood is proud of what he’s created. And that was really what mattered as far as he was concerned.

"Oof, good luck with that. Threats are like dominos in my experience. But who knows - maybe one way or another we'll get a few seasons of peace to focus on the things that matter, not just what has to be done to keep our heads above water." Grinning back to Jata, Ronin reaches out to clap the Flood on the shoulder. "Good job with King's End, by the way. I don't know if I've ever said it, but you've pulled this place up by the bootstraps. It's looking good."

And gods, if nothing else, at least he's got a real place to call home now. "Let me know if you need help with anything, yeah?" he adds, almost as if he's just realised he can offer assistance to Sunjata again, now that they aren't ex-friends. "It's about one of the only things I can do these days without the Family breathing down my neck, so if you want anything heavy moved or anything built, give me a shout."

Oh, trust me, I know.” He drawls with the type of exhaustion that Ronin might realize was similar to Remi’s when it came to ruling Torchline and being its governor. As it stands right now, though, with King’s End so fresh and new, he didn’t have to try and fight the people to make changes. If anything, they were more receptive without the criminal underbelly and the prospect of being able to trust the wilder edges of their home that they wouldn’t randomly get robbed or attacked by creatures one day.

As for the compliment, the smile he flashes Ronin’s way is softer, still crooked, but soft. “Thanks. I will. Hopefully once we get some other things in order we’ll be able to do some stuff I’ll prolly need all that Vi brawn for.” Raising his glass to his lips, it’s with an equally raised scarred brow that the Flood starts to relax and sips from his glass, content to make easy small talk about menial projects until Ronin has to leave.

- FIN
