RONIN
THE FALLEN STAR
She graces him with a smile - a real one - and Ronin can’t help the way his cheeks flush, the bashful flare of being recognised by a goddess still something that feels brand new. He will never tire of it, he doesn’t think - but then perhaps that’s the point. And then she calls him a good man, and he inhales a shaky breath, almost wanting to refute her. But he doesn’t. ”For all my sins, I think I just might be. If you believe it, then anything is possible.”
With a soft laugh, he straightens up and lets out a long, deep sigh, seeming to steel himself for the tasks that are to come. ”I’ll see you soon, then. Probably with much more of a tan.” If the Climb is as hot as they say, he’ll be lucky to get away with only that much.

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
