RONIN
THE SUPERNOVA
"At the risk of sounding stupid," Ronin says slowly, holding out a hand for Flora to help her across a particularly uneven patch of ground in Angel's End, "you know that Mateo was born in Longheat, right...?"
He'd heard that she'd been Hak Etme looking for a birthday gift for the botanist, but it's either a belated one or a very, very early one based on the pesky way reality works. Either way, given that she'd been searching the desert - and Ronin has no desire to dodge any more landsharks, gigantic and ghostly or otherwise - he figures that she might find something to her liking in an equally as hot climate.
"What were you even thinking of getting him?" he asks, smiling over his shoulder to the Doubletake. It doesn't really matter, honestly - he'll indulge Flora either way, and he's got a feeling she knows it.

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
