[se] unnecessary acrobatics

RONIN if there's one thing i'm good at, it's surviving Shaking Edmund's hand but with his eyes firmly on the young man's companion, Ronin is openly agape at the sight of such a creature. "Ronin," he murmurs distractedly, "the pleasure is all mine." And then, as if finally realising that he's staring, the Nova lets out a self-deprecating laugh and straightens up. "And nice to meet you too, Splat. This is Sugar - she also bites." Huffing out a cold, judgemental breath at the men and the darkling, Sugar shifts to get more comfortable around Ronin's shoulders, before deigning to ignore the lot of them. "If you don't mind my asking, what is Splat?" the Nova asks at last, glancing between Edmund and the fuzzy dark cloud.
