"Quite," Ronin said dryly, smirking and gazing down the river, the light of the sun shattering across its currents and waves.All rivers led to the ocean eventually, and there was no reason to believe that this one would be any different. "I wonder whether we'd be stopped by those elemental storms if we let ourselves float far enough, or if the river would just carry us to the open sea." He smirked, sitting up and leaning back on his hands to better see Deimos.
Vanya had been in the sea when he'd first laid eyes on her; he'd been painting her ship, bobbing along the horizon. Not that he'd been any good at it back then, but he'd still done his best. A soft, wan sort of smile had appeared on his face as he thought of his lost love, of the daughter they shared who napped away the heat of the day at home, and Ronin had to force himself to shake it off. "I hate to say it, friend, but I think I'll keel over if I go back in there. You're welcome to it, though - and thank you, for training with me!"
