RONIN
Dorian proved to be a smart man at least, giving Sugar due diligence, and the dragonling settled around Ronin’s shoulders to let them talk whilst she tended to the very important task of snuffling behind the Star’s ear. Trying not to cringe away from it but not entirely able to hide the smile on his lips, Ronin heard Dorian out. ”I can’t forgive someone I’ve never met. I’m just going by what Remi relayed to me,” he pointed out, neither knowing nor caring about this Finn person.
Taking a slow, deep breath and letting it out again, he followed the other man’s gaze out to the sea and passed a hand through his dark hair. There was something about the knowledge of his daughters that put his teeth on edge, even though he’d seen it coming. Even though there was nothing sinister about it. ”Have you ever met an Ascended?” he asked. ”They are, contrary to popular belief, actual people with actual feelings. I count some among my friends, and I mourn others that I’ve lost.”
