the white knight
"As if the world isn't challenging enough," Ronin says with a soft laugh, though Hadama has a very fair point, and the Knight rolls his neck and takes a slow, deep breath in before letting it out again. The Tidebreaker isn't wrong about using the hotsprings for endurance training at all, and in fairness, Ronin spends the majority of his time here canoodling or otherwise splashing about. It makes a change to have to actually sit with the heat, to let it soak into his skin.
Talk of business further cements this as something to be solemn about rather than succumbing to his inclination to frolic in the water, and the Knight lifts his gaze to Hadama and sweeps his dark hair back off his forehead, waiting expectantly for the hammer to fall. When any conversation begins with as demigods of Safrin and Vi, he knows it's going to be largely unpleasant.
And it is, the Knight letting out a hard sigh that drags his shoulders down, his gaze flicking somewhere out into the steam rolling over the water. "As far as intentions go, I have none. I can't have any," he says simply. "Dahlia has threatened the lives of my children should I fight against the void or The Family - and that goes for Remi as well. And with Flora unable to go behind the barrier in Haulani, my hands have been tied for some time. Not that my skillset was particularly useful to begin with."
