It was somewhat different to that (the heralds, Ronin had gotten the impression, were keen for release after 300 years as well, but it was a complicated mess and he hadn't asked questions about it), but conversation settles instead into starry shorelines and life as it had been in the sky, and he lets it. [say]"Mm, you've got it in one,"[/say] he says softly. Even if he hadn't been alone - Vanya had been with him - but that isn't part of the story that he's keen to share with a relative stranger.
[say]"Mm...?"[/say] Had his appearance been different? Ronin laughs, gazing down at himself. [say]"Yes and no?"[/say] he says. [say]"I look the same as I always have, so that didn't change at all. But when I got back it was like... a new start, I suppose. Every scar and freckle was gone, every bit of training I'd done as a soldier had been wiped away. I have never felt so weak. It took a long time to get back in shame."[/say]
