finding salvation

"And is trying to make you feel better such a crime?" Ronin wants to know with a smile that just about hints towards the mischievous, and he nods as if to remind himself that he's no longer a baron at a ball, and etiquette isn't what it once was. Believe it or not, the Star doesn't often have a chance to spend extended time in the company of a relative stranger - especially not a lady. He's quite enjoying it as well, as the grasses grow soft and vibrant underfoot, and the first buds of peeping flowers begin to litter the route ahead. The trees, when they reach them, will seem to enclose them all at once as if by magic - because it is by magic, Ronin has to remind himself. "Safrin," he says gently, as to what changed. "It was decided that I was needed elsewhere. That's why I live in Stormbreak now." Watching like a chaperone as she flits to and fro to inspect different parts of the Greatwood, Ronin only realises that he's gotten himself a companion when he glances at his shoulders. "Oh, hello," he says; a hanging snake has draped itself around him as they've been walking beneath the trees, currently enjoying this little jaunt through the woods. RONIN Darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you.
