RONIN
the white knight
"I was not flinging, I was cooling you down," Ronin tells her with a haughty smile as he straightens back up, sweeping his wet hair back from his face where it won't fall into his eyes. "Noted, though. I feel as though you've gotten some good practice with those knives today, and I don't want to push my luck." Leaning casually against the side of the fountain to enjoy the rich splash of water and the cool spray it sends against his back and shoulders, he opts not to look at Flora either, instinctively seeming to sense her awkwardness.
"Oh, it'll wait," he says softly, rolling his shoulders and stepping away from the fountain at last. "It knows a good thing when it sees it, and you've been an asset to it for longer than a lot of its leaders. Remi included, but don't tell." He winks. At the suggestion of cramping up and of a race, Ronin raises his eyebrows and gives her a nod of acquiescence. "Alright. I'm pretty fast though, y'know."
With that, the Knight promptly disappears. Except of course he doesn't, but the ol' bait and switch with his projection is a trick he's practiced often indeed, and she'll spy him sprinting off halfway down the beach in the distance.
