RONIN
THE FALLEN STAR
Ronin held Wessex's gaze, watching her expression as she took in the news, and perhaps it was testament to how much he had grown (how soft he had become?) that, if there was any indication of a lie on her face and in her voice, the hunter didn't catch it. Once he'd told more mistruths than otherwise, but the time when he could catch out deceit was apparently over. Or maybe it was just the blight in him.
Either way, he heard the Ascended queen out as she spoke; his expression darkened, as it had when Sam had told them of what the Voice had revealed, and whilst he wanted to rage at them, all of them, it was their goddess that would (one day, he didn't know when but one day) receive the brunt of his ire. They didn't know. What was done was done. Moving on.
"Remi was talking about Longnight preparations as well. I believe he's held a meeting already, to discuss plans about it." That was not an arena that Ronin felt he had much say in any more, given that he was likely to be dead before the longest night rolled around. Hence his sulking absence from said meeting. The blight, though - he still had work to do when it came to that.
"This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but given what we know now, it would be wise if the Ascended didn't go further into the Greatwood until a cure is found. We know it doesn't seem to affect the Hollowed Grounds - apart from the people, of course."
Ronin rubbed at his forhead. "We still don't know how it spreads, either. Could an Ascended bite be one of the causes? Is it airborne? Both?" He shrugged.

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
