RONIN
Wonder turns to hurt which swiftly becomes a wince as Safrin melds and shapes the world to her liking, only for it to - literally - come smashing down around their feet. Raising a hand automatically to shield his face and eyes from any wayward specks of glass, Ronin is left blinking and dazzled in the goddess's presence. "I'm sorry I didn't come sooner," he says, even knowing the words will do nothing to fix this.
"If all I can give you is my presence, then you have it now, for as long as you want it." And further words dance on his tongue, supplications, the demure but if you want to go to Hadama instead almost breaching the prison of his lips. Almost.
But Ronin shakes it away, the set of his jaw and his shoulders giving away his true feelings. "And I want you to stay," he says. "I have missed you, and I'm sorry."

soft spoken with a broken jaw
we step outside, but not to brawl
