I will fight the end
"Hm?" Ronin glances back to the scholar as he continues fighting with the map, pausing only to offer him a self-deprecating smile and a pat to the top of his head. "Oh, I'll be alright," he assures him. "I've got a thick skull, it'll take more than a book to knock me out." True, and also indicative in the way he's trying (and failing) to get the map in his hands to comply.
"If you wouldn't mind," he admits with a laugh. "This is of Rae's Fingers - I admit I didn't expect the map to be so big." holding out one end of the large square of parchment to Nikolai, he begins again to try following the creases in the map to fold it. "It didn't even do me any good besides. Thanks for your help, though."
