RONIN
kiss your perfect day goodbye
OMG Get to fuck, bones.
Ronin holds his ground at first as Pierce begins to step closer, wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the cadence of his steps alone is slow and predatory enough that his instincts - luxere and dragon both - are already screaming at him to fight or flee. "Oh?" he asks softly, trying and failing to sound casual, his hand automatically dropping to the hilt of the rapier at his side. Were it not for this solo journey he might have - should have - left it at home, but there's no telling what might be lurking up in the Cordillera at any one time.
Case in point is standing before him right now.
Now he does yield a step, chin lifting ever so slightly. "Borrow gives the impression that you'd plan to return it," he says slowly, all warmth fading from his voice. "And I don't think that's true, is it?" His fingers close around the rapier, itching to draw it from its scabbard. "I'm not looking for a fight."
