Ronin's hearing was never going to be as keen as his dragon's, and he was still quietly wandering the shelves when Sugar perked up on his shoulder, having heard the tell-tale Reep! from the bowels of the Atheneum. He turned just as Isuma came into view, bounding in circles and fluttering a greeting to his companion. Recognition sparked in blue eyes, then, Ronin turning his head to try and nose Sugar off his shoulder. "Go on," he assured her. "Go play."
Not needing to be told twice, the dragonling let out a trill of greeting, uncoiling her silvery tail from around Ronin so she could take off and glide down to meet with Isuma properly. Investigating her feathery wings, Sugar chirruped her approval.
Ronin had been enjoying the interactions between them enough that the sight of the tall man emerging from the shelves was enough to startle him somewhat, the guildmaster offering a polite smile of greeting. Whilst he was used to being 'known', so to speak, from his time as captain in Northaven, this still threw him off. He chuckled and nodded to the other man.
"Thank you," he murmured. "That's right, yeah. I... the white fox, I presume?" He had never heard his name, he realised, from their time playing in the snow.
