RONIN
THE FALLEN STAR
"Sorry. For what happened when I saw you last."
It was probably strange (probably? definitely) for Ronin's voice to sound so close to Samuel, given his current position on the rock. But the hunter didn't walk on water, and he hadn't climbed up next to Sam - no, if the Ascended turned it would be to find Ronin sitting comfortably on a soft expanse of cloud, the Dark Star's eyes far out at sea where the stone had cast its ripples back at them.
He had spotted the redhead from where he had been strolling back from town, headed to the wagon where he could finally collapse around Remi and lose himself to the sweet oblivion of warm bodies and soft breaths. But something made him take pause - made him want to approach Samuel, though he had no doubt about what the other man might think of him. Still, he had to try. Safrin had made that much clear.

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
