RONIN
the white knight
Ronin laughs at that, the sound boyish and carefree, and he winks and raises his smoothie in concession. "Alright, you got me with unreasonable and annoying. But that goes beyond just babies and toddlers, I think we could expand that out to everyone we dislike." He tips his head back to accept a nuzzle from Sugar which is actually her attempt to sneak lower on his shoulders to keep a proper eye on Spice and her baby-watching.
Offering a blase shrug at his being unfair, Ronin notices but doesn't say anything at Flora's initial silence. Not until the apology starts to burn, swift and immediate on his tongue, but before he can give it breath she's moved on, and the baby in her arms seems to be taking her word very seriously indeed based on the way he intently watches her face. "Hey," Ronin says through a chuckle. "No trauma, please. I'll take trouble aplenty, but I've already got enough trauma for one lifetime."
Finishing his smoothie and setting it down on the table, he raises his eyebrows at her news about the cannon. "I thought I heard the sound of gunfire and some spirited whooping," he says with a grin. "Glad to hear it. It might be worth training up some new soldiers now that we've got it, maybe. Extra hands to fire cannons and whatnot. Although, things did get quiet suddenly around Rae's Fingers, so maybe we don't need quite as much extra help."
