"Human customs?" Ronin asks slowly, as if not sure what to make of that. He isn't to know that Sah is an Outlander, of course, or that he hasn't been walking on two legs for all that long. As for first impressions, Ronin flashes a crooked smile to the other man. "You could have made worse," he assures him, "but you're certainly going the awkward route, especially if you're trying to tell me my daughter is friends with you."
And the longer time goes on, the less Ronin thinks he understands Sah, tilting his head slowly to see such fondness suddenly bloom across his face. "At least we are both in agreement about that," he says of Seren excelling at things. "And I appreciate you looking out for her, but... we can't always protect people like that, Sah. If I could shield her from all the mistakes I made, I would. But... some things you really need to learn on your own. And sometimes those things hurt."
