[PQ] building castles out of dirt

RONIN

the white knight

"So demanding," Ronin complains, though there's no bite in it, and he flashes a lazy smile across at Remi as he follows in Flora's wake, boots sinking into the sand with every step. Dressed in a loose tank top and a pair of tan pants with his dark hair still sleep tousled and mussed further by the breeze, he might have only recently awoken, but he's willing enough.

Behind him he drags a pallet of more tools - some smaller hammers, a shovel, chisels and a handsaw - as well as a small pot of sprouting lavender cultivated from the side of the Northaven by a certain green-fingered Accepted. "Mateo sends his regards," he tells Theea with a grin, gesturing to the plant. "This is a housewarming gift, I am told."

Releasing the pallet, he immediately approaches the cider, filling a mug for himself and Remi and offering one out for Flora as well.

Ronin arrives, brings some more tools and a housewarming gift from Mateo, and gets everyone some cider.
