gratuitous violence; unnecessary, satisfying, heartbreaking
Does Ronin know that Maeve isn't a particularly strong swimmer? Would he have arranged this chat out here if so? Did he arrange it out here precisely because of that reason? All questions that drain into that strained silence as the duo help to arrange their picnic, Ronin shifting to sit cross-legged on the nimbus with the tea and cake between them. Attacking the cake first (and that's always a good start), he hums a warm sound of amusement at her remark.
"Is it strained if I'm just hungry?" he wants to know, raising an eyebrow across at her and licking his fingers. "I'm sure you've heard about Sunjata," he continues, nonetheless acquiescing and opening the proverbial can of worms. "A demigod for Frey, now. Safrin is... I have never seen her quite like that." Because the shrine thread hasn't really happened yet, oop.
"She asked me to come here, to inquire about the state of affairs within Torchline."
