run away and take me with you
The tangleweed is a brief but unimportant distraction, the distant sound of its shells and other debris clacking together outside the lighthouse, and Ronin dismisses it immediately with Safrin's arrival. The world parts into the cosmos like a knife through silk, and he watches the lady of the stars step into their presence with a mix of relief and the sort of respect that has been earned across years and in no small number of ways.
"Thank you for coming to see us," he says first and foremost. "And of course - we don't expect you to carry a personal concern over Ludo, not when it so often makes a mockery of your work. But as Melita says, if this is a sign of something bigger happening - especially given that it is not responding to Mort either..." He shrugs.
"Any information might help Melita to continue the search, even something as trivial as its last known whereabouts. And in the event that it has gotten itself into some trouble, your help would put it squarely in your debt in future."
