arms give away your need
Ronin has never prepared for a trip so meticulously before, especially given that he has no intention of staying in King's End for a particularly long time. Usually he and Remi set off on a wing and a prayer and hope for the best. Perhaps it's guilt that has him carefully folding and putting clothes into a bag, along with supplies, some ink and parchment and other wholly unnecessary items. The longer he takes to pack, after all, the longer it will take to set off.
And the longer it will be until he has to spill blood all over Sunjata's life.
Finally, though, there's nothing left to pack unless he decides to physically fly off with their houseboat on his back (and he's tempted), so Ronin heads out front to dawdle further make sure everything is secure and clean and ready for them to leave. It's as he's looking over the boat that he notices some moss and scum building on the prow, and well, they can't have that.
The Huntsman dilligently gets to work with a scraper, removing the green fuzz from the wood with slow and careful strokes.
