I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes
There's a small stretch of the Stonesong that's perfect for lazing the day away. There's a large, dry rock that gets the best of the sun, and when one gets too hot, the rushing, refreshing waters are only a dip away. So after a morning helping out Vai with her cottage and her herb garden (it's more for his son, honestly, but the break is still welcome), Ronin is rather looking forward to his break.
Only, when Ronin emerges at the riverbank, there's already someone in his spot - he inwardly smiles and chastises himself for not being a little earlier. Still, it can't be helped, and he offers the stranger a wave in greeting. He's already shirtless, the garment tucked down the back of his pants so he doesn't lose it, and he heads towards the bank so he can sit and unlace his boots.
"Afternoon," he greets sunnily. "Sorry if I'm interrupting you. I won't be much of a bother - just going to take a dip."
