RONIN
Ronin eventually relented and released Sugar to go about her merry way with the young starwhale, though the dragon could not fly in the same slow grace that Jyoti managed. She was built for swooping and diving, and so it was with stuttered jumps up to the beams of the building that she followed after her. The shrine, at least, proved interesting, Sugar chirping her curiosity in a flash of sharp fangs.
Content that the two could amuse themselves, Ronin smiled and left them to it, giving his full attention back to Amalia. Awkward as it might be for the two of them. "Jyoti," he repeated, smiling at the whalesong that filled the bakery, interspersed with Sugar's various dragon noises. "She's beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen a creature like her - ah, but don't let my persnickety dragon overhear that. She might be pretty but she's getting an attitude on her." He grinned, the affection clear in his tone.
His apology at coming into the bakery too early died on his lips at the mention of his daughter; Ronin seemed to light up from the inside, his smile softening. "Thank you," he said. "Remi mentioned you were making things that might help with her teething. I... well, I mean. If I were to pay you, could you teach me how to bake something similar?"
