RONIN
THE FALLEN STAR
Deimos was a very good choice, and Ronin nodded his agreement as Wessex spoke. It was a pitifully small turnout, to be sure - but then that could likely be a side effect from Zariah's enforced enlistment. More would come, he was certain. Hopefully he'd be alive to see it.
Whilst he knew Wessex and Edrei had spoken about shift patterns - Edy taking the day (and now him, he supposed) whilst the Ascended covered the night, he waited for his fellow queen to speak on the matter. it was her meeting, after all.
And the name of the other stranger - whilst it sounded painfully familiar - was too soft for Ronin to catch properly. And upon turning and seeing a tall, frail looking man in a cloak, he paused for a moment or so before returning his attention to the others. Either no part of Ronin ever expected to see Loren again, or his appearance was so changed that he really was unrecognisable.

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
