”But far from the easiest unfortunately.” Roana added with a half smile in his direction. It was comforting, having someone to talk with, who understood in a way the pain that she felt. She hoped he felt the same, that he could air his struggles to her and in turn receive an empathetic ear. Men struggled to bare their emotions that way though.
”What?” Roana said, whipping her head around to stare at him wide eyed. Zariah had been so bold as to threaten Aiofe?? Her brow settled into a glare, lips pressed together in a thin line. ”She will be brought down. Or was will find a better place to be.” Roana said with a resolute nod of her head, the mother bear in her awoken to hear that Ronin’s daughter had received such a threat. But his guilt over Safrin was the more immediate issue, and she reached out to place a hand on his shoulder in comfort. ”I once felt guilty over not saving a very dear friend of mine from his death. But it all worked out in the end.” she said with a small smirk. ”So too will it with Safrin, of that I am certain. Is there anything we can do to help her?”
His next words made her heart stop beating for a moment it felt like. Oh. Oh. It did not show on her face but it felt as though a knife had been shoved between her ribs. Of course. Of course his heart was already held by another. Only a fool would let such a man, such a person – the shining light Ronin was – pass them by. And she had indeed been foolish. A smile curved her lips after only a moment’s hesitation. ”Well, I had better receive an invitation at the very least.” she teased with a snicker. ”I am happy for you. You deserve such happiness again.”

Don't tie me down cause I'd never stay
