gratuitous violence; unnecessary, satisfying, heartbreaking
Humming a response to Pierce's affirmation - and he's right, Ronin realises, because honestly, who hasn't? - the Nova swallows hard and tries to shake off whatever jitters have possessed him. He puts it down to the state of the Greatwood and his own mood (sour, more often than not as of late) rather than anything the other man is doing, forcing himself to become a little more amicable.
"Ronin," he introduces himself belatedly. "I just came from the Greatwood, actually. It... doesn't look good." Understatement of the past few years. "And I suppose you're right about that. No news is good news in this case, huh?" His smile falls short of his eyes, but an attempt is made. "Where did you travel from?"
