RONIN
THE SUPERNOVA
Given that Flora hasn't needed his assistance, Ronin turns his outstretched hand into a bow befitting a (former) baron and continues at her heels, as much looking out for anything she might be able to get Mateo as he is watching for danger. Speaking of which, he can only offer her a crooked smile at her comments. "You didn't know me when I was a real younger sibling," he points out, only to suddenly be tugged closer.
"I appreciate it, but it's alright," he assures her. "It was a long time ago, now." And it sounds terrible, but there have been deeper wounds and much fresher hurts since then. Apparently his heart has grown to accommodate trauma as well as love.
Still, as she continues about Ever, the Nova's jaw actually drops, and he tilts his head to her incredulously. "We are talking about the same Everest Hart, right?" he asks. "He.. had he been drinking, or...? Not that he would need to, if he wanted to kiss you. But you know how he is."

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
