RONIN
the white knight
light is easy to love.
"It won't be years." Ronin's voice is flatter than he would like, lined with quiet steel that's echoed in his gaze as he stares out at the water. "I've been out of this fight for a long time, thanks to the Family and their threats. But I don't plan for it to be that way much longer, no matter what it takes." Absently cracking the knuckles of one hand, the Knight inhales a long, deep breath and huffs it out again, forcing away some of the tension that is perpetually gathered in his shoulders.
"Things are coming to a head with the sort of shit Dahlia has just pulled. I hate to say it, but I don't foresee it taking much longer before we're in open conflict - if we aren't already." As a pool party in the very near future is about to demonstrate quite wonderfully.
As conversation turns to Safrin, Ronin tilts his head towards Kaisel and listens - properly listens - and lets a smile kick up one side of his mouth. "Keep them for yourself," he says gently. "You're a helluva lot stronger than you give yourself credit. Look at what you've achieved here, how many people who might have been hurt or worse without you getting them to Torchline. And take it from me - a healthy fear of Safrin is no bad thing, and neither is being happily forgotten by her. Sometimes her attention is more trouble than it's worth."
