Grinning at the little fox as he decided to enjoy the warm breeze and the sight of the sea a little more, Ronin nodded to him. "Have a good day," he said brightly, before turning to head back off down the mountainside. A good distraction to be sure, but there was always more to do. The hunter glanced over his shoulder to check on the fox once or twice, and each time he spotted him still there, blissful in his simple relaxation, it reminded Ronin that he could also find that, somewhere within himself. It wasn't easy, but it was still there.
