// You've got your demons
The last thing he expects is to have a it’s not you, it’s me with a demigod, yet here they are – and despite the explanation, Thorn can’t help the small amused smirk that graces his face, the airy breath of a snicker beneath it. “I understand.” The thought in and of itself is enough to make the sting not hurt as bad, which is likely what Ronin’s intentions were.
Regardless, Thorn starts to lead the way back, content to have the casual conversation – after all, he loves listening and dealing in stories (and the occasional gossip), and very rarely to people ask him about things. Half of his job is to listen to others, the other half is to numb their sorrows or celebrate their achievements. “Not as hard as Torchline, thankfully. But the Boondocks flooded and destroyed some of the docks, took out a good majority of the new castaway exchange that had set up shop out there.” A small frown graces his features as he glances over at Ronin. “They’re in the process of being rebuilt and the House of Midnight and Refuge have been taking in those displaced from it while work is being done.” All in all, it could absolutely be worse.
And while they didn’t have the destruction Torchline did, there still was the scar of the first meteors that had fallen, etched into the ground of King’s End.
