RONIN
Ronin watched as Deimos finally relented and came to rest against the rock with him; the hunter was allowing the smooth surface of the boulder to take all of his floating weight, shamelessly. His eyes drifted shut for a moment to enjoy the way the water rushed and flowed around them, washing through the fatigue and the ache in his muscles - or at least, it felt like it was. The second he went back out into the waves, he'd be quickly corrected.
But that didn't mean he wasn't going to head back out there, and his eyes fluttered open to offer the other man a crooked smile. "Always," he said, taking a few long breaths before pushing off from the rock to test himself in the Stonesong once more.
Whilst he would only tire more quickly, the longer he trained, it was a rhythm he was coming to thoroughly enjoy. Rest and work, rest again and work again... it wasn't a bad way to spend an afternoon at all. In one such instance where he had dragged himself to the bank to properly catch his breath, he gazed down the river and tilted his head. "Where do you think it ends?" he asked.
