RONIN
the white knight
"Oh, like short-distance portals, almost?" Ronin smiles at that idea, nodding. "Perhaps that can be the next ask, once we've finished the work on the fountain." It would certainly benefit citizens and visitors alike, providing easier access to Torchline's most important areas, and that's even without considering when they might be needed most. "You could have one that brought you here, one to the fountain, one to the docks..." However many the gods might allow.
Still quietly elated at the reminder of being back on good terms with Safrin, Ronin can only nod in agreement, though as Flora continues (and it's along the vein of dead siblings?) he stills, brows furrowing in confusion. Ah, but when the admission comes, it both is and isn't a surprise. For as long as Enzo has been gone Flora has been speaking about bringing him back, and the Knight shifts to the edge of the couch to reach across and take her hand between both of his own.
"Flora, that's amazing news," he says, proving that one can be filled with joy and sorrow entirely at the same time. "I know Mort will listen to you. If the timing works out, maybe you can invite Enzo to dinner with us, if he's up to it?" There will be time to feel quietly selfish later - for now, this isn't about Ronin, and Flora deserves nothing but his complete support. "I'm proud of you, y'know. For everything you've achieved and the person you've grown up to be."
