Humming out his acknowledgement and taking another drink of wine to make sure his hands have something to do, Ronin gives his pricklier instincts time to lower their hackles before he speaks again. [say]"You've always been one to look before you leap. I quite like that about you,"[/say] he admits, and it's not even because such patience might sway him away from demigodhood and stepping on (rightly or wrongly) what some bull-headed (stag-headed?) part of him believes is his territory.
Mention of the Mer is unexpected though it really shouldn't have been, Ronin furrowing his brow. [say]"Have you no council who could run things in the city in your absence?"[/say] he asks. [say]"...In my experience, at least, I find you'll probably get a better answer if you ask how you might solve such a problem, rather than what about it?"[/say] That is, if he plans to even bring such a matter to Safrin.
[say]"Either that, or... well, Harper is Attuned, isn't he? If he has an aquatic shift could he keep both running...?"[/say]
