there is always hope
Remi is off destroying shrines or something, Vai is taking care of Mateo, and Ronin? He's doing what he should have been doing last year during LongNight. The largest bonfire on the beach is one that has people coming and going all thoughout the week of darkness; people play music, drink, dance, tell stories, you name it.
So he's slouched onto a log bleached by sun and salt some time ago, letting bare toes wiggle deep into the sand, his ears filled with the sound of the crackling fire and the crash of waves, and it feels like he's home again. Deft, scarred fingers shuffle through a deck of cards - everyone around is far too drunk to play, as far as he can see, so it's more an act of habit than anything else. Ronin hums under his breath, splitting the deck and letting the cards stack together again.
