run away and take me with you
"Ellyra," Ronin echoes, committing the name - the first name, at least - to memory and linking it inexorably with Doctor Hart's clinic. Perhaps if they'd still been in those early days in the Grounds he might have shown a little more familiarity at her potential history; alas, the Nova has been reborn a number of times since then, and can barely remember his own previous iterations.
Safrin's name, formerly a song from people's lips that Ronin would join without hesitation, now causes something shadowed and bitter to shroud his expression, and in response to her starstruck awe, he can only offer a stiff nod. He almost utters bully for you, or a similar sharp equivalent, instead clearing his throat and taking a sip of his coffee.
"I hope it didn't cost you too much," he says instead.
