RONIN
the white knight
"I think," Ronin says slowly, "it takes going toe to toe with Caido, yeah. And for Remi particularly, it involves shoving your hand into Caido to grab hold of the Core, withering your arm in the process." His own hand flexes a bit instinctively, the wrinkle of his nose suggesting that for all of his 'retirement' antics, he remembers those days all too clearly. "After that, you kind of get to do whatever the fuck you want, yeah."
Laughing to himself, Ronin reaches back for his milkshake as Flora takes on board everything he's suggested, giving her time to mull it over and decide if and what she'd want from him. And her counterpoints are good ones, such that he's already smiling as he puts the shake back down, nodding his agreement and propping an elbow on the arm of the sofa to rest his chin in his hand.
"Normally I'd agree with you entirely," he says with a laugh. "I think the difference this time is - and don't take it the way it sounds, please - I don't really care about Torchline in that way." Still grinning, he's quick to clarify. "What I mean is, sure, once upon a time I'd have had a vision for the region or whatever, but I'm more interested in helping my daughter than I am in ruling the islands. I'd be there to give you advice and I'd be there to take some of the work off your shoulders, but ultimately I'm following your lead."
