RONIN
THE FALLEN STAR
Scoffing out a dark laugh, Ronin sipped at his drink and flashed Wessex a wry smile of his own. "I will never stop being a self-righteous and moody pain in your ass," he informed her. "Just like you'll never stop being a hard-headed and prickly pain in my ass." He shrugged. Judging themselves on their weaknesses rather than their strengths in rulership? It was definitely more entertaining this way, he supposed.
It might have been a throwaway comment, but Ronin tilted his head curiously - the idea had some merit. "I mean, if you want to help decrease the sense of otherness that I think some hold for the Ascended, there are worse ways to go about it," he admitted. "As for knowledge, we could either agree on a set time for a meeting each week, and bring any new information to each other then, or we need to find a way for the people to tell us what they know at the same time. An audience, perhaps, just... not like Zariah's." That had been a fucking trainwreck.
Leaning back in his seat, Ronin spread his hands. "I know the symptoms of the blight well, given that I've got them. I could put it into a notice to inform people what to look out for. I know some of the healers have contracted it too, yes. They've tried natural remedies, or concocting other antidotes with various experiments, but... no cure yet. It does seem to be contact based, but it might have mutated since then."

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
