[RQ] the trouble is, you think you have time

I'll follow you down through the eye of the s t o r m

Noah had not had a one on one meeting with Ronin since...well, for a very long time.

Many things had happened since.

Noah sent a messenger to Ronin and Remi's home quickly after the void-creature attack. After helping clean up as much as they could, Noah was ready to move on with his fellow demigod and complete another task.

Or several, really.

Though Noah told Ronin that they needed to find a void-creature that he could take back to Halo alive, and that was the first physical objective. There were many things, however, for them to talk about. 

The Forsaken didn't hesitate, knowing that deep down beneath all of his own fears and anxieties and failures, he had a friend in Ronin. "How did it happen? Vi, chosing you."

Don't worry I'll keep you w a r m

infinite inspiration and endless thanks to odd and sky

we shall heal our wounds, collect our dead

Having been part of the turn the void-corpse into stone and yeet it into the Feverlands crew, Ronin is all too aware of the many tasks facing Torchline. Recent seasons have taught him, though, that said tasks are not always of the Gigantic and Heroic variety, such that this search for a void creature with Noah has been delayed for a little while thanks to an old lady who could not figure out which ship she needed to catch.

Having gotten her safely aboard (Ronin had waved from the dock as the ship set off), they're finally able to set off across the coast. It's still warm compared to Deepfrost in other regions, such that the Knight is only wearing a long sleeved sweater rather than any sort of jacket, and he glances sidelong at Noah as he speaks.

"Oh, I wouldn't say he chose me," he says with a gentle shake of his head and a small and grateful smile down at the sand. "He saved my life. Safrin and I... our relationship had finally reached breaking point, I think. She'd had me agree that for however much stronger Seren became, I would grow weaker, until..." Well, he gets the picture, Ronin hopes.

"Vi intervened, though. And so here I am."
