RONIN
the white knight
"Mm, it was." Shit, Ronin means, but he assumes Koa hasn't turned up specifically to wax lyrical about the Knight's prior failings (he hopes not, anyway) and so he falls quiet to let him continue. Nodding at the first point - because Flora has told him, as well as a lot more besides, but give it time - and holding his tongue against the others, it's only as the dragoon manages to create a weapon from the dock beneath them that Ronin raises his eyebrows.
"...It's difficult," he says slowly, "when there is so much that's out of your control. The situation with Stormbreak, the not knowing. If you let yourself dwell on that, you really will feel helpless. Focus on the things you can control, that you can change. That always helped me." Whether it's Koa returning home to brave things out under Dahlia or settling more permanently elsewhere to regroup, it's easier than drifting, lost, about it all.
