RONIN
kiss your perfect day goodbye
Barking out a laugh as he absently shuffles the cards with deft fingers, Ronin doesn't even bother to lower his voice as he nods his agreement. "Dangerous and toxic are both rather apt descriptors," he agrees, setting the deck down in lieu of picking his glass back up. "Mm, given that I died and she was literally responsible for putting me back on Caido as her demigod, to say that the power dynamic was a little skewed is putting it lightly." Even for a situation where it would always tip in the goddess's favour.
What can you do, though? Other than what Ronin had done, which is accept the switch in alliance when it had presented itself, and he lets out a long sigh and a lot of tension he hasn't realised he'd been holding as she mentions Vi. "Very much," he says. "There's no guesswork, no layers of meaning. I know what he wants from me and I know how to do it." And gods, having things be that straightfoward has been a balm on his mental heath all on its own.
Chuckling to see Elizabeth slide her glass out of reach, he follows suit if only so she doesn't feel obligated to keep up with him. "Torchline brings it out in people, I think." He grins.
